If we follow this analogy further, why should we keep the concept of car doors if particular car locks can be made with bugs in them? Doesn't the possibility of bugs in locks means that there will always be a risk, even if we abandon specific locks that has demonstrated to have a bug in them?

We should keep the locks that work and don't cause other problems, and ditch the other ones. Again, seems simple.

Depends whether locks can be made to work.

Solutions exist within problem spaces, or "paradigms", a car lock is only useful for a specific set of things i.e. deterring thieves or unwanted entry e.g. at stop lights.

What I really want is a force-field to keep people and highway debris out while driving around, and a secure storage solution while not in operation.

If you could sell me a force-field car with a retracting tent, and it were safer/had less issues, I might not care to have locks on my car.
