Yes, users should have separate accounts. This whole thing is like complaining that a user can browse your My Documents folder if you allow them to use your account. Of course they can, they're logged in to your account!
It's a good idea to have separate accounts. The issue is that many people aren't aware of this, and should be. Chrome is going with the assumption that people know about it.
I'd rather someone browsed My Documents than saw my password in plain text. I don't even like seeing my password in plain text.
It came as an unpleasant surprise to many of us, so I'm trying to point out to as many people as possible that this is the way Chrome does it.
Eh, you think that's scary - buy a brand new machine and log in to your Chrome account and see all those passwords (and bookmarks and browsing history) get slurped down from who knows where onto that machine.
