As to philosophically why it does it, I presume that's because it removes the need for the programmers to implement (and maintain) a secure store for passwords - why do it when there is a gnome component that is specifically designed to keep passwords safe. > No other > application seems to require the password to my Gnome keyring.

If you have disabled Gnome keyring, then that's probably why it keeps asking for your password - Evo has no other place to store passwords, hence it needs to ask you for them each time. And I don't think you need to be particularly "experienced" with them to let a program use keyrings - it's just an encrypted store of passwords.
