CerboGX: Why set a Remote Console password?

I see I have to choose whether to set a Remote Console password or not (for CerboGX with a GX 50 display). I read the docs, but they don't tell me why would I need a password to protect remote console? I access it through VRM (which is already password protected) or my local wifi network (which is also password protected).

Is there any other security concern with Remote Console? I guess the password feature is just for people who share their wifi networks with untrustworthy people or perhaps have the Cerbo on a public network? (that seems crazy to me but I guess you might do that at demos / boat shows)

You can also access the remote console on the local network via a web browser. In some cases, you would not want everyone on the network to have access to the GX device.
