In the UK, and I'm guessing a lot of other parts of the world, many people live in apartments with only a single entrance door. Pets which require medications on a schedule might become very ill without them. But yes, I suspect that any country where the weather is enough to kill your pet should probably be running AC/heat on a thermostat instead of manual. (Here in the UK, we rarely have AC, and a lot of people just put on heat manually when they're cold - but our weather is pretty mild.) Personally I would never rely on a phone to get me into a house or vehicle. Mine runs out of battery too frequently. I've already been bitten by not being able to take a bus because my phone died and I couldn't pay for a ticket. |

For ones that support Apple's Homekey, it doesn't even matter if your battery runs out. Apple devices still provide Homekey via NFC even with a dead phone.
I don't think this exists yet for car keys, although I know there's work on UltraWide Band key support.
Also, this seems substanially less fragile than just... losing a pair of keys. It's not evitable that your battery in your lock runs out (again, unless you ignore warnings), but losing your keys is one of those 'hard to prepare for' events.
Migitation for losing your keys could just be keeping a spare key with a neighbor/friend/whatever... but, well, you can do that with an e-lock too (cause they all have regular keys for true backup).
