I agree with your arguments.. however the unanswered question is why the passwords need to be stored locally at all?

The passwords are saved to your Teamviewer profile which exists on their servers. It seems like it would be safer to request and decrypt only when needed by an authorized user, rather than storing it for someone else to find.
