What is the benefit of implementing oauth2 in powerapps?

We followed this tutorial: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/customapi-azure-resource-manager-tutorial/ and we made oauth2 , but what is the actual benefit?

 

I will explain the problem.

 

Without oauth2 swagger

Before, without oauth2, we uploaded our app online, we shared to the users we wanted and this app appeared in their -> "powerapps My apps menu". And they could normally use it. If we just send them the link, without sharing the app, they couldn't use it.

They signed in and they used the app.

 

With oauth2 integration

if we just send someone the link, he cannot use the app, we must share it (like with the case described above).
When we share the app, the other user needs to sign in, accept the azure permission for this app, and use the app normally like in the case above.

 

 

there is just one difference-> in the second case he must accept azure permission for the app.

 

But what is the benefit? what is the difference between these 2 cases?

 

 

I thought, that when the user runs the app, he will get notifications and will need to sign in again or something, but apparently is not like this.

 

Thanks
