Do you think this is why guidelines say never to put valuables in your checked luggage? I always thought it was because fragile and valuable have a high overlap, but this public unattended space idea might make even more sense.

It's part of the reason.
Other parts include:
(1) Even with “positive bag matching” in place which should in theory prevent this, bags end up going elsewhere or elsewhen.
(2) Theft by airport and security services employees between check-in and delivery to the carousel.
