There are rakes and picks for dimple locks. (And I don't think any dimple lock has won the tolerance game on keyways for mass produced locks) Dimple locks are just less common. The more common they become and more common you'll see the rakes and picks made for them. Despite the flags being very easy to make yourself, they're uncommon enough that if you buy them from a pick store you pay a niche premium. I will say a product is more likely to be secure if the manufacturer is intentionally choosing a rarer style simply because they are taking security into account

I found a bicycle dimple lock last week on the street. I find it impossible to pick open. The dimple row is so tight that you can fit only straight blade in, raking is impossible. I have been making flags, but it seems to be impossible to find right curved shape so that the pin is fully movable. Also I have made a narrow blade for my Lock Pick Gun, but all in vain. Soon I have to send this bloody lock to Lock Picking Lawyer, situation is so desperate.
