Yeah, I read that, but it's not clear exactly what those calls are. It sorta sounds like making assumptions on how their users are using the API.

In fact, it sounds like they think "linking an account" is the only "user present" API call:

"Only 10% of Plaid's data pulls involve a user who is present and linking their account to an app"

No, I'd read this as "linking their account to an app" meaning that the plain account's API credentials are configured in the app, so the app can call the plaid API (presumably interactively on user interaction).
