One's gmail account may be tied to several other online accounts. Having "less secure" applications enabled means that if your gmail password is compromised, people can easily own a few dozens of other accounts you own. And you won't even know, because gmail won't alert you about the intrusion.
We don't live in a world of innocence. Enabling "less secure" applications is trouble waiting to happen.
