Riiight. Go ahead and apply that logic the next time you want to get in your house. Or brick your way into your car since it's easier. Hopefully nobody spots you and calls the cops! You're definitely not being a dickhead just by making that argument either, don't let anybody tell you that. Those words needed to be said, it was important! And anyway the rest of us are so stupid we probably think we actually need keys.
I mean... to break into a keyless car you need special radio interception and replay equipment, the know how to implement them, to keep up on the latest security measures from car manufacturers, and car thief communities developing security counter measures.
Or get a coat hanger, watch a YouTube video, and get into any car you want.
Still not much more effort than a flipper zero but it is more expensive than a coat hanger.
