Yuck. Look closely at the wording: He is trying to counter a "user choice" feature by saying it doesn't have "protection". "File protection." "Protection of the key." Protection from who? From the user, that's who!

This mentality that the user is an attacker, and the software must protect its data from the user. Isn't a passkey ultimately supposed to be my data?
