But what is the point of having large numbers of passwords,
if one password will open all the locks?

So if your password on one system gets compromised, it does not compromise your password on other systems. As lone as your keyring password does not get compromised, you only have problems with one system. And your keyring password is less likely to get compromised because it normally does not travel over the Internet. So you can use a weaker, but more easily remembered password for the keyring, and more complicated passwords for the other things. You also do not have to try and remember all the different passwords, so you will hopefully not use the same password for everything.
