>Judging by the fact that master lock is still widely sold, it’s not common knowledge how crap they are. I think you misunderstand the threat model and/or use case. Most of the time I don't think anyone expects locks to do anything except keep honest people honest and dissuade the lowest level of opportunistic attacks. A sledge hammer is cheap. It can open just about any door. The difference between a cheap door and hardware and a high end security door might be ~5 minutes of hammer time. (Nothing can stop hammer time). Nothing will stop someone with time and tools. But if that threat model were a concern, we'd see a lot more bars on ground-level windows and the like. No one cares. Because 99.99% of the time, it's not going to be a problem. Now, there are definitely use cases out there where it makes a big difference and people want the security. But MOST of the time, people aren't trying to stop or slow down someone with bolt cutters, a bump key, or shim.
