In this case, they might continue doing all of their other stuff in that browser as well (online banking, shopping...), which might be considered bad security practice.
On the other hand, if you tell users "You can always run TiddlyDesktop in order to save and archive your TiddlyWiki properly, and you're therefore free to update your browser", this problem might be avoided. Nerds who are used to juggle different browsers and who know how to watch out for potential security issues are exempted from this, of course ;-).
