I fail to see a big problem here. The pressures and temps change a little up and down all the time. A stop for only 10 minutes will cause a change. Especially if going from sun to shade.

I rely on my safety equipment. I don't want to have to babysit it to make sure it's working.
To be honest, I'm usually paying more attention to my driving than the TPMS readings...and by the time it cycles through 12 sensor readings, I couldn't tell you if sensor #9 reads the same or different than it has for the past hour.
If my sensors are miles away from my monitor and it's still showing readings, then there IS a problem, IMHO. They're not true readings; it's just the memory of what the sensor sent an hour ago.
Same if the sensor on a tire loses contact with the monitor. You're driving along for an hour or more thinking everything is okay when, in reality, the tire might be heating up, going flat or even fell off.
I'd like to know a little sooner than an hour about that.
