I actually believe that bulletproof vests are a good security analogue as well: they are typically only rated for certain cartridges/projectiles, only guaranteed to stop a certain number of projectiles, won't protect you from broken ribs or soft tissue damage, and most importantly, they're still, you know...a vest. Does nothing to stop you getting shot elsewhere.
The "threat model" of a vest specifically excludes certain threats and I still would _greatly_ prefer to be wearing one in a war zone.
