It's easy for companies to make security mistakes, and the feature's novelty means that even though Knox is trusted by America's top intelligence agency, Secure Folder itself might have some flaws.
Information stored in a hidden Secure Folder could also evade the notice of someone rifling through a phone they stole or forced someone to unlock.
