A powerstrip has a circuit breaker and its cord is protected by that

I've not seen anything inherant in power strips that would be a problem
"daisy-chained," and apparently neither have you.

Verb correction. A power strip should have a circuit breaker....
There is no rule and no requirement that a breaker exists. Without a
breaker, it cannot get UL approval. But UL approval is not required.
In many fires, such as the local dog kennel that killed all dogs, at
least some power strips did not have the circuit breaker. You have
assumed all power strips have circuit breakers. I was just looking at
one today (from Archer - a Radio Shack product) that did not.
