Yes, I can't believe people trusted those little gold locks on their diaries when they were teenagers. Didn't they know that someone malicious could just force that with a modicum of strength?
Hiding passwords doesn't protect against someone malicious; it's enough of a speedbump to mean you don't need to be vigilant over all of your computers every second of every day.
Say you have a party with your friends, and are playing music through your laptop. What if you want to use the bathroom? Do you have to lock your PC? Is leaving the room "risky behaviour"?
