I'd just seize the opportunity to remind the audience that this is the
same thing that started troubles for Microsoft. It's exactly the same
intention: let's make things easy for users, it doesn't matter if
there's some security issue with that.

Decade later, Microsoft is on the opposite side, annoying the user with
an endless stream of "are you sure?" warning pop-ups. :)

I hope Apple guys will be wiser. So far, I won't bet on that.
