I really don't know how you can assume that a daily room check would do nothing. Someone planning such an attack may avoid the place because they know about the policy and don't want to deal with it.
Or they take it as a challenge and choose that place because of it.
Maybe they don't answer the door or they act strange even if their weapons are hidden which triggers an additional security check. Most criminals are not usually the intelligent people represented in TV and movies.
This is not to say this policy will prevent every type of attack from happening, but it may prevent one, and that's probably worth it.
The housekeeping staff is nice and all but if any of them are skilled enough to recognize the subtle behaviors that may indicate a possible murderer/terrorist is in the room I suspect they would have followed a different path in life. That is work for trained professionals, not a member of the cleaning crew. Personally I think however many attacks there are destined to be at WDW, and I am hoping for 0 of course, won't be altered one bit by this policy. It's useless but it checks a box that people think needs checked. YMMV.
