      I mean sure… but using a key to enter isnt really any safer? Like lock picks and jimmys and air bags have been defeating physical locks for even longer? Hell, a brick through a window gets you in faster than anything.

        Riiight. Go ahead and apply that logic the next time you want to get in your house. Or brick your way into your car since it’s easier. Hopefully nobody spots you and calls the cops! You’re definitely not being a dickhead just by making that argument either, don’t let anybody tell you that. Those words needed to be said, it was important! And anyway the rest of us are so stupid we probably think we actually need keys.
