> Breaching the daemon only allows for the attacker to get access to the login

Yes, but potentially any login. See the problem? If you compromise the gatekeeper, you are now the keymaster. Or whatever :)



I'll admit it is still problematic. But at least there is only 1 gatekeeper instead of 2.


How is that better?


You can focus all of your energy into strengthening and testing a single point of the system instead of having to do it for many.


You're grasping for straws a bit here. This is already done for ssh as the defacto remote access mechanism for a very long time.
