Sorry, I have to mark this as Incomplete, because there's no steps to
reproduce and I can't guess them. :-)
If you were "adding an account from an app through System Settings"
because you were sent there by an "app [you] came from", that is a bug
in the app, like bug 1372860. An app should not send you to Online
Accounts in System Settings (except as a last resort if you have already
denied the app access to an account, but you've indicated that you've
changed your mind).
But since you say "users are always redirected straight back to the app
they came from", maybe that's not what is happening. System Settings
doesn't send you to any app, as far as I know. Instead, maybe the app is
invoking the standard Online Accounts prompt. You aren't in System
Settings, it's just that the authorization Web view looks like a System
Settings screen because that is the odd way in which Ubuntu Touch shows
full-screen dialogs.
I'm also unclear what account options you're referring to. The only
options I see at the moment are the choice of which apps have access to
a particular account. But presenting those options would be
inappropriate when you're authorizing an account for a particular app.
For example, imagine that an OEM preinstalled Words With Friends. When
the Facebook app prompted you for a Facebook account, your journey to
Facebook shouldn't be interrupted by the question of whether you want to
also use your Facebook account with Words With Friends. You might never
use that game, and not even know what it is, let alone whether it really
needs a Facebook account. But that's okay, because if/when you actually
get around to using it, Words With Friends would be perfectly capable of
prompting for access to the Facebook account itself. The System Settings
panel exists mainly for you to revoke access if you need to, not for you
to give access in the first place.
