> We are miles ahead in security of any other industry. Physical locks have been broken for decades and nobody cares. Windows are breakable by a rock or a hammer and nobody cares.
That is not such a great analogy, in my opinion. If burglars could remotely break into many houses in parallel while being mostly non-trackable and staying in the safety of their own home, things would look differently on the doors and windows front.
The reason why car keys are using chips is because physical safety sucks so much in comparison with digital.
The fact is we are better at it because of failure of state to establish the safe environment. Generally protection and safe environment is one of reason for paying taxes.

Not the reason. There is no safe lock, chip or not. You can only make it more inconvenient then the next car to break in.

Exactly backwards. The only real safety is being in a hi-sec zone protected by social convention and State retribution. The best existing lock in a place where bad actors have latitude won't protect you, and in a safe space you barely need locks at all.
