The desktop application is just a temporary web session in a box. You cant recover your account from it, so if you lose your phone, you will eventually lose access to your account and messages.

on a computer that anybody can see that might use my computer

Why dont you have access restrictions on your computer? Literally any operating system allows you to just set a password...

My laptop is encrypted but once it's open I turn the password off because I just get tired of typing the password every time I sit down. I'm not too worried about people in my house digging into my laptop. Text messages OTOH, is a whole other level.
