It's actually secure in the sense that the lock is difficult to pick and breaking the window leaves evidence of the break-in.
In contrast, exploiting these electronic locks leaves no evidence - the same would apply to easily pickable mechanical locks of course, but at least the shitty mechanical ones are cheap.
