I'm just scared that they're saved with reversible encryption on the disk, then malware could steal them

Yeah sure, but a keylogger could read it at any time then, while cracking the locally saved card is more complex. And locking the card down unless explicitly needed also means that even if my card card does get compromised, it can't be used of very narrow and random windows, adding a nice layer of security.
