... albeit one that is more typically only used by a single person  
with occasional guest usage.

Like, say, a mobile phone. Go on, how many of those have useful PIN  
locks or other access control, and how many people bother to enable  
the feature?

I'd hazard a guess that most people's mobile phones contain about the  
same amount of sensitive data as their computer. The police have big  
forensics departments to break into and access data on seized phones  
because it's so fruitful.
