Isn't that the point though? Trust is decentralized over multiple accounts that you already control. Keybase just provides an easy way to access that decentralized trust.

If they hold your key, your privacy can be violated. By them, by someone who buys the company or by a secret government court order.

Then download the client and store the key yourself.

I can't store the key myself and I wouldn't want to. I can create it myself but it's stored in a central key server.
