Chrome packaged apps support auto-updating, so unless you take steps to prevent that from happening, you're never sure you're running the same version today as you did yesterday. Again, trusting the server to serve you a trustworthy version of the app repeatedly. And if you're trusting the server already, local storage is no better than server side storage.

Again, I think this reduces to "Microsoft/Apple can auto-update your OS, so you might as well send your keys to Microsoft/Apple." Would you argue that? If not, why?
