Picking locks requires physical presence. Stealing bank credentials online can be done from another continent using public wifi. It's not a great comparison because the number of criminals with access to your computer is much higher than the number of criminals with access to your front door (multiple orders of magnitude), and their ability to distance themselves from the act (both geographically and forensically) is also orders of magnitude higher.

The FBI, who have been known to break-in to people's residences were not found guilty and therefore are not considered criminals by law.
