Suppose user loses phone. Finder then roots it and uses adb to pull
the database and preferences files -> Damage done. I consider it good
practice to assume *anything* that's stored on the device is "up for
grabs".
Even with encryption things may be dicey. Finder may have success
retrieving the original password through a reverse lookup. Just by
what Google does (crawling the web), they've indexed a sizeable number
of MD5 passwords for a reverse lookup.
