I think L&L answered that syncing stops if the screen locks or you swap to another app.

Push isn't the only exception - An app can choose support 'Background Refresh', and in the iOS settings you can allow background refresh per app.

One is cost to the user. Scrivener projects can easily become large enough that a user might not want to use their cell data plan for synchronization.
The second is data integrity. Having synchronization stop and restart repeatedly as the user moves in and out of connection 'zones' is just asking for trouble. Picture having an updated .scrivx file (the master index used to build the Binder), but not the new data files associated with it.
There's also a potential performance issue: what if there's a Scrivener synchronization running in background while the user is trying to use a mapping tool that needs real time data updates?
