Scalability. Once you know how to pick one, you can pick them all quickly and remotely. Kicking down a door or picking a physical lock takes time and effort and exposes you to scrutiny while doing it.
I can imagine someone cracking these locks en masse, then setting up a website to sell the fruits of their labour. A local thief could log into a website, provide a street address and pay a fee, and the lock will be remotely unlocked.
Via WIFI? You are not more than a few hundred meters away. Doing that from across the street is much more convenient. Once they are done, they can just walk right in.
Doesn’t seem very scalable. Maybe you can knock over 10x as many houses in a night as a normal criminal. Normal criminals are 1000x (at least) more numerous, so it’s not a big increase in the threat.
Why? If you want to break into a house, it's a lot easier if you can just walk up to the door and look like you were invited in, then attracting attention picking a lock or kicking down a door.
It also means you can hire someone else to do your dirty work by tricking them into thinking they were invited in and asking them to "grab a few things for you".
