It's not ease, it's efficiency: opening a locked car door is 1-2 minutes for an experienced person. Smashing the window is 2 seconds (though you also need some experience, as modern car side windows are also laminated).

It doesn't matter. If a customer buys faulty hardware, it's the seller's responsibility to replace it with working hardware. If the breaks had a manufacturing defect, you wouldn't expect the customer to pay for the replacement.
There is nothing faulty in the hardware, why they should replace it? Following the same logic: old phones, even iphones can be hacked. Should manufacturers replace the hardware?

I've been holding my breath ever since spectre/meltdown for a free cpu upgrade to make up for the slower performance that the mitigations cause. It's intel's bug, they promised a certain processor speed, shouldn't it be their responsibility to replace it since their own security oversight resulted in the hardware not working as advertised?

The lockpicking lawyer’s skillset is not what’s required for that task. 30 seconds would be an eternity for a typical thief to just be able to open a car door. Most of these thieves take maybe 15 seconds from approach to escape. Stealing a whole car is a little bit different but nobody is going to sit there with their adrenaline pumping, wearing gloves, in the middle of the night trying to pick a car door lock that won’t even disable the alarm.

Do you mean the button on the door handler or the button on the key fob? The former is their keyless entry and is vulnerable to attack. I was under the impression all Ioniq 5s had this feature, but obviously I defer to your experience.
Button on the door handle? I only know about the button on the key fob.
