Purposely leaving small amounts of crypto on your device is like leaving a few dollars in the console of your car. It lets you know if your property has had it's security breached. (lemm.ee)

I think they mean you can see if you've got malware or something. Basically if you download something you shouldn't, I think their theory is it'll go for the low hanging fruit of a crypto wallet.

Yeah, this was my thought process. Security comes in layers and a huge amount of malicious software will scan for and send away unencrypted crypto sitting on a device. Setting up a small honeypot and monitoring for transactions gives me slight peace of mind. I just wanted to share my shower thought.
