I generally agree with you except nowadays there are "grinder resisting" u-locks that are very expensive, bit also effective. As usual it's not like they are indestructible, but its just just a matter of more time and effort to get throught them
Here in this video there is one example, but it's easy to find others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO4h385PPUY
Personally I use an heavy duty chain, I don't care much about weight (I already load my city bike with lot of stuff) and I can secure relatively quickly a around the frame. But if I had a more expensive bike I would probably use one of those fancy U-lock
Damn that was impressive! Shame it's hard to find places where you can actually use a u-lock because the hoop is so tiny.. I have AXA foldable 800 which has been pretty good, long loop so it's easy to lock around posts and what not.
