Because they don’t really have any other choice. You get a key with the lock. Even if they all happen to be the same blank, it’s substantial work and expense to get them all keyed alike for most people.
Maybe that’s our solution right there—when you register for a service instead of relying on users to select a secure, unique password we should generate a “correct horse battery staple” and only support rerolls, not setting arbitrary passwords. Guaranteed some minimum level of safety and complexity and no reuse.

Even if they all happen to be the same blank, it’s substantial work and expense to get them all keyed alike for most people. You have lots of other choices. You could use combination locks, time locks, biometric security measures, paired keys, etc. The simple key-based lock seems to be particularly simple and accessible to consumers.
