For what it's worth I understood the argument and think it is valid. It's one thing for the file you're working on to be vulnerable if you walk away leaving the editor open; it's another for all of your other files to be vulnerable too. It's O(1) vs. O(n). The difference is clearly not zero.

Considering that walking away from an open editor means also walking away from an unlocked machine, the problem would be the exact same ;-)
