Improvements in key tech just hurt me.
As long as they aren’t trivially exploitable like the Hyundai keys, more expensive keys are my problem. Stolen cars are my insurance company’s problem.

Agreed, but it’s a risk/return decision. In my city, car theft is like 80% less than it was 20 years ago. 60% of stolen cars are running in the driveway (warming up in the winter), and 20% of the cars in the peak year a few years ago were Hyundai/Kia with the egregiously bad locks.
Good enough to stop crackheads is my desire in this space. Doubling the cost of a $400 key to reduce my chances of a loss by 3% is a hard no.
All other things equal, the easier it is to steal your car, the higher your insurance premium will be.
