It's unfortunate you're being downvoted for pointing out something many programmers take for granted - that introducing unnecessary complexity to a security-oriented product makes it less safe by design.
I think they're being down-voted by listing some opinions and finishing with 'these are facts'.
Maybe networked door locks are a poor idea, maybe they're not. There's nowhere near enough of them in use right now for consumer risk to be assessed and determining 'facts' is a long way off. That kind of arrogance is obnoxious and should be down-voted. It doesn't add to the discussion, it doesn't add to anyone's understanding of the risks involved, it just acts to shut down conversation and is negative and damaging to the community.
Looking at similar advances in car locking technology - where 'keyless entry' or 'keyless go' is a common high-end car feature, suggests that it might actually be possible to have this balance of convenience and security.
