My worry is that having signed-in to a MSA in order to allow the Phone 
Link App to work, will any other apps feel at liberty to use that same 
MSA for other purposes?

I have a recollection of signing-in to OneDrive using a MS365 account, 
for some testing and discovering much later that it was being used for 
other purposes.
