I agree that increasing gap limit doesn't increase security (unless the theft who have your seed words don't think to change gap limit). However, i don't understand why would increasing gap limit leads to less security?
The ease of use is affected. Unless you made it clear to your heirs that they need to increase the gap limit and check the addresses beyond gap limit 500, it's unlikely they would think of doing it themselves. Restoring a wallet from seed where the software uses a standard gap limit would return an empty wallet right? Or you simply suffer a memory loss and forget about the gap limit you used.I agree with you, but my point is there's no correlation between ease of use and security. Generate lots of address at once doesn't affect your security.
