You were arguing for the login password/phrase matching the ssh
password/phrase - that seems like a bad idea and really unecessary.

Surely, what you mean is that it's required for the login
password/phrase to be the same password/phrase as for whatever
application stores the various passphrases for ssh/gpg etc.

There is always a tradeoff between security and convenience.  Are you
suggesting that there not be a way for users to enable their login to
unlock their various keyrings?

Nope. But that in no way requires login password/phrase == ssh key
password/phrase.
