shhhhh! Don't tell EVERYONE!
While this is true, there is definitely more fidgeting and twisting (or much more unthreading if you want to completely remove the top clamp) involved in removing a saddle than a quick 2-3 turns of an easily accessible seatpost bolt.
Anything to make theft that much more of an inconvenience is a good thing, IMO.
