Extracting information from the corefile on the local machine would involve downloading and installing all the corresponding -dbg packages for all packages and libraries associated with the crashed process. Many users do not have the bandwidth nor storage space to install gigabytes of -dbg packages to just run a quick stack trace.
Thus, this compromise of sending the corefile to our retracers, which do have the bandwidth and storage, and automatically strip the coredump from launchpad once the stack trace has been generated. I personally feel that the safeguards are strong enough that I do choose to submit my own corefiles through this service, but that is because I have good visibility on how the corefiles are handled. I can easily understand how someone else may come to a different conclusion, though, without this visibility.
