Can you or someone else elaborate way it would be more secure? I dont quite follow or see the benefit.

Look at the security on mobile OS. It is perfectly secure for Apple and Google. But seriously, the benefit is theoretical and only with the assumption that you believe Apple and Google to treat your data better than a third party. Brave assumption in my opinion.
