Do you mean physical keys before the advent of immobilizers? Go ask Kia or Hyundai how well that works for preventing your car being stolen. Meanwhile, the wafer locks used for car keys to allow them to be used "upside down" unlike your house keys are super easy to pick, because wafers are inherently flexible and the tolerances have to be lax. Rolling code key fobs and immobilizers are actually the most secure cars have ever been, and made it way harder to steal cars in general right up until two brands wanted to save 100$ per car and ALSO design them in the most stupid way possible (the raw key cylinder is easily accessible and manipulatible to anyone with a rock, compared to other brands that bury the cylinder itself deep into the steering column so it's protected). We don't need any new law, we just need Kia and Hyundai punished for cheaping out on important security features. If Ford tomorrow replaced all keys with a button with no security, would you want to ban fingers? The fingers aren't actually the problem here.
