With respect to the first section, it seems fundamental to me that you can not see the memorized passwords. It requires a minimum of security or at least put it a little difficult to see those keys. As long as you do not put a master key (like firefox does) I will never use this option. It always seemed like a big security hole on Google's part. Microsoft should not follow that line. Anyone can be absent from his post for a minute (no more) and someone can see all the keys in a very simple way.
Doesn't it ask for the Windows account password though ppnacho ? For me it does - and it makes sense to me since the browser is only as protected as the account it's on. If you're "away from your post", then since they don't have your Windows password you're fine.

I'm chuckling, in a nice way, from your last paragraph... coincidentally, had just recently had an exchange with someone trying to say something about local account vs MS Account. And, here we go with, yet, another one of the plethora of reasons for using YOUR User Account (Email & P/W). The timing made me smile 😊 Who says there is no such thing as coincidence 😉
Cheers,
