Yup, I've got a three bolt break in resistant front door in my house, but right next to it is a window that can be breached in .5 seconds by yeeting a brick though it. But both will leave traces if they've been forced so my home owner's insurance should cover any losses / damages.

That seems to be a rather weak security, especially relying on “…should cover…” to save you, which I presume you have also never been able to test. And that’s without addressing common mistakes like not realizing the policy is for cash value and requires evidence; which people do not have, is not updated, or is not compliant. That can leave people with effectively no coverage at all, with the only test being run in deployed systems… the first time you check if your arms supplier provided quality arms, is when you’re facing the enemy trying to kill your at the front lines.

  "Having windows in your home is weak security": The trade-off between usability and security incarnate.

    Some windows are more resilient than others. When I lived in a less than stellar neighbourhood in Germany, we had windows that you couldn't throw a brick through. (Some tougher than usual glass.)

    No. You can get security glass. There’s no trade off.

  You’re right, they should board up all their windows or live in a concrete box.

    Ever heard of security glass? No need to be snarky and unlikable.

      You are so confidently stating this as if you mentioned that at all in your previous post lol - obviously that’s not the issue I had with your comment. Sure, I was a little snarky, but you started it with your bad attitude.
