Github user infil00p commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen/pull/130
Going to about:blank is done as a garbage collection technique before
closing out the WebView entirely so that the memory is freed. There's a
hilarious TODO here saying that it shouldn't destroy the WebView until
about:blank is done loading.
But yeah, I agree with the fix. The Splashscreen shouldn't try to attach a
UI element to the Activity while the Activity is basically killing itself on a
backbutton, or some other exit event, and that's clearly what's causing this
behaviour.
Of course, if we never made this a plugin in the first place, we wouldn't
have such a weird disconnect between this plugin and the platform code, so
there is that.
