I see, that makes sense and should be more secure, in theory. Thanks for the explanation.

The issue I have is, whether I need to trust a third party with my private key, e.g. Google with Android, Microsoft with Windows, etc. (yes on linux it's different, but that's not my only OS).

Also if the private key does get compromised (e.g. local malware steals it), hopefully there's an easy way to revoke it.
