Yeah but if you lost your phone you'd be screwed. There's ways around it... the identity mechanism supports multiple keys so you could have a backup in escrow.

But most people don't want to worry about key management at that level. Hell, I know exactly how everything works, and key management still scares me. The consequences of a mistake are huge.

It's the same thing that happens when I reinstall Debian on my Thinkpad and upload a new ed25519 pubkey to Github so I can push again. Edit: or we could backup the key.
