2 reasons: 1. Imagine *fun* IT society in open space... You just cannot get out from your desk without locking the desktop :) If you happened to left console unlocked, you would be jeopardized by prank makers. And you can call yourself lucky if they only sent couple of e-mails from your box:] What if they know where to find a password in plain text? Usually people have one or at most couple of passwords for many of services.
2. Development boxes. If I need to set up maven in dev box, where everyone has access I must play with users / rights to have my password secured and still root admins can see it. Thanks, though. If I implement this, I'll submit a patch.
