You’re proving the other persons point - the reason why the a thief doesn’t trivially pick locks isn’t because of the lock, it’s because it’s illegal and there’s a consequence.
Yes it's illegal and there's a consequence but do you care about it after you've been robbed?
Like tags, locks are also deliberately encumbered so that locksmiths and law enforcement can easily defeat them.
Are there people out there who sell locks that aren't purposefully bad?
People like Microsoft?

EDIT: Like in the hotels, you got a key for your room, but the hotel management has a "passpartout" key (for back in the day when we had physical keys). The phrase "<thing> must accept interference, but not cause any". So you/we must be able to receive the 'punch' and not resist.
you ask great questions about power! and yes. though you'll generally find the lock isn't the interesting bit, reinforcing the door frame and door and putting pins at the top/bottom and side is how its done.
otherwise 25 dollars at TSC for a fence post driver will make 95% of residential entryways irrelevant.
That video makes no suggestion that the locks have been deliberately sabotaged. The theory in the video is nothing more than that the company is incompetent at making locks.
Locks keep the dyslexic realtor from showing my house to people interested in the neighboring property.
