You said there’s no point. I contend there is a point.
The point is to make it slightly less convenient to steal from. This is the purpose of literally all locks. There are no locks that can’t be picked or bypassed. I don’t care if it’s my underwear, pants, shirts, shoes, whatever. They’re mine and I packed them because I want to use them. I’d prefer they’re not stolen, and some of my clothes are valuable, or at least I don’t want to spend the money to replace them.
Maybe someone’s just having a shit day and wants to fuck with luggage to be obnoxious. I’d rather it not be mine, and a lock makes my bag slightly more annoying to fuck with.
Agreed that a lost bag is much more likely than theft. I have an AirTag in my bag to help with that scenario.
You have to know what tiger to outrun. Meaning you have to do a proper risk assessment.
I put to you that all your useless little lock does is tell potential luggage thieves is that there could be something of value in your luggage so they’ll steal your luggage.
