The advantages of physical keys are less numerous than you may think. The skill floor necessary to pick a physical lock is higher but the skill ceiling to pick "any" physical lock is a lot lower than the skill ceiling to pick "any" properly engineered digital locks. Of course proper engineering is hard and the skill floor will possibly always the dominant thing in news cycles because of the ability to automate the breaks that makes the skill floor really stupidly low. It's a brand new age of "amateur thieves". What won't make as much news is that skill ceiling raise that comes with it and something of the end of an age of "professional thieves". (The final retirements of some of the "Pink Panther" classes of criminals.) To be fair, some of that fear from such news is perfectly valid. Few of us are likely to be intentionally targeted by professional thieves, but many of us could easily be the accidental targets of amateurs.
