On at least Android and iOS, developers are warned that if the GUI thread
is unresponsive to events for more than a few seconds, the OS will assume
that it has hung or is infinite looping, and will start popping up
warnings and/or killing the application. The GUI thread is required to
start other threads to do anything that may take significant time. 

These OSes consider the GUI to be the main thing of an application. Since
they are very user-focused OSes, at least as much about emotional
gratification as computing, this makes some sense.
