The "asking" is done by gpg, pass has no way to check (or prevent) if

well, pass knows the decrypt failed, so it could ask the user whether it
should go on to the next file after N failures.

Ok, makes sense.
A 'more sophisticated' way would be to ask only once per key /
smartcard. But I guess this may be too much hazzle to implement
compared with the gain.

'pass grep' opens every encrypted file to look for the searched pattern.
pass doesn't know you use a smartcard for your private key. Every time
you cancel the question box, pass invokes gpg for the next file and gpg
asks again for your card.
- by contrast when doing a pass show for example without the card,
choosing cancel on the box asking to insert the card aborts and I get
my system back.
Because pass then only invokes gpg once.
Perhaps pass grep should stop after the first failure to decrypt a file,
but I think this would be wrong, as it could be intented that in a
shared passwordstore some files are not encrypted for a part of the
different users.
I would say [WONTFIX].
