I think that perspective is overblown. Yeah, anyone with the inclination to practice a bit can bypass a lock. You're not going to stop a professional burglary ring with any kind of lock.

But there are a lot more lazy crackheads and dumb teenagers than professional burglars.

An interesting point from the LockPickingLawyer that I'd like to point out is that while many, many locks are easy to break if you're interested, it's still effort. Your average locker or bike thief isn't picking locks, they're just taking whatever's easiest.
