You are correct. Most locks are broken by thieves, not picked open.
However, occasionally, I have seen locks defeated by thieves drilling the plug of the cylinder out. This is virtually impossible with the padlock I have listed.
This lock is not for everyone. It is for those that can afford it, and see the value in buying the best. Even a grinder will take some time to cut through first, the hardened shackle guard, then the shackle. It is also about key control. NO ONE will be able to get your keys.
Use common sense. Use the lock that suits your needs best.
