Instead of battery, you could turn the key inside a mechanism that would produce the energy needed to open the lock ;-)

True, but an electronic lock has lots of advantages over a mechanical one. Especially for a business, you can trivially grant and revoke keys as well as track access. I feel like in principle they could be more secure too as all but the fanciest of locks are pretty trivial to pick, though that's predicated on somebody building an electronic lock without hardware/software/cryptographic flaws (good luck).
