If you left your computer, then you have bigger issues to worry about (i.e., it being stolen, searching through your emails for CC info, etc). In other words, the malicious use of an export button is no bigger of a problem than it already is to leave your belongings unattended in a public space.

It is already enticing to steal someone's password because more often than not people use the same password across services anyway.
I can see where you're coming from on your second point, but I'm of the opinion I should be able to take the data I'm putting into a service (reviews, chats, messages, etc) with me -- it doesn't prevent the service from still monetizing that data (through ads, suggested products, etc), and if anything it continues to give the service an incentive to make their platform better so I would want to stick around with them only because of their superior recommendations and whatnot.
