Wallet by definition has private key within it. Without key is just an address.

I think ‘readily accessible’ was the important bit.

I don't follow. The wallet is the private key, along with some other info.

The wallet could be encrypted with a strong password and thus inaccessible.

Yes, but any unknown password is enough to put most people off, particular if the contents of the wallet is unknown.
