I wonder if Schlag's Encode Plus, which is designed to work with Apple Home Key as well, is also at all vulnerable. Schlage seems to have a fine record[0] but you never know what corners might be cut to get a product like this to market. https://www.schlage.com/en/home/smart-locks/encode-plus.html

I’m a very low skilled picker, but I did try racking and bumping my Encode Plus before installing it and didn’t get it open.

That said, I do intend to re-core and re-key it someday.

There are issues with the physical lock, nothing to do with the electronics. So it's likely a real lock company like Schlage should be more resilient.

There are multiple videos where LockPickingLawyer opens electronic locks from various companies using a simple magnet.

Even "real lock companies" are not immune from selling shiny gadgetry with misleading marketing
