You don't understand. The point is about managing bugs from just about
any Internet-connected computer. Using your GPG key on such a computer
is very dangerous. This is indeed one of the best ways to have it
compromised.
The password doesn't protect it, by the way. If you want to do something
with a bug, you'll have to type the password. On a cracked computer,
this means giving the password to the attacker.
