Thank you for filing this bug, Eran Roz.

As documented at
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Founding_principles&oldid=46234>,
the "ability of anyone to edit articles without registering" is a founding
principle of Wikimedia wikis.

Any software (MobileFrontend or otherwise) that inhibits the ability of users
to freely edit unquestionably has a valid bug. A design decision by a small
development team cannot simply discard core principles.

Re-opening this bug.
