Bungie.next is preparation.

If the weak link is the third-party auth, then that is the bit that should be sandboxed; there's no reason why Bungie couldn't have as flexible and long-lasting a session as they wanted just for bungie.net and anything that's not intrinsically related to a third-party service. But then maybe there's some reason they've decided not to do that?

From what they've said Bungie.next is preparation for an online system to support Destiny. I would imagine since they expect people to be logging in all the time to check stats (or more) that they don't want to make a complicated login system that could cause you to become disconnected from Xbox Live/PSN without being kicked out of Bungie.net, which could cause issues with some of the ideas they may have for integration with Destiny. If Xbox Live supports something like OAuth hopefully when PSN gets upgraded for PS4 it'll support something also.
