Yup. When something goes wrong in these kinds of applications, you sometimes tend to just randomly dump memory, which is a huge data leak. Or even worse, if someone figures out a way to force a data leak, then your are completely compromised. Having each piece of data with its own key and that key is a combination of data outside of the process address space drastically lowers the chances of data leakage and total compromise.
