Car thefts have been in massive decline since about 1992. Why? Better security. The ones that still get nicked are largely low-hanging fruit, which means either something like keys in ignition or manufacturers that still haven't got on board with the security thing. Even with the latter, if people paid attention to possible vulnerabilities and took appropriate action, they could mostly be avoided. So I think your analogy is indeed relevant. It just doesn't mean what you think it means.
