I don’t understand setting the bar so much
higher for them than mechanical locks.
Based on the smart lock reviews I've seen on youtube channels that review locks, rejecting 98% of smart locks on the market doesn't require that you hold the smart locks to a higher standard than the mechanical locks.
Because the reviews I've seen indicate almost all smart locks fall a long way short of the security of equally priced mechanical locks.
