We also know bullet proof vests are not absolute protection, but you don't see the police/military throwing up their hands and not issuing and wearing them because 'someone determined could kill you anyway'.

The point is that it would prevent a certain number of attacks (such as non technical mischievous people) from unpremeditated attacks.

Your comment about 'false sense of security' is completely out of place as well. Chrome currently isn't doing anything to prevent the false sense of security (obviously from all the surprised people out there - can you see it now?). Why does it have to be a mutually exclusive choice? You could have your 'master password' and still have your false sense of security disclaimer displayed prominently next to it as well.
