From what I've heard, people are generally just concerned that the database is not authenticated whatsoever, and so a malicious actor can modify your database (particularly if it's hosted on Dropbox/etc...).
This doesn't seem like a particularly scary vulnerability, but one scenario that was brought up (though I'm not 100% convinced), is that a malicious actor can corrupt the password for one website, leading you to change the password.
I dunno, don't see it as a huge vulnerability, but I do agree there is little reason for such a database not to be authenticated.
