Things that are exposed to an adversarial environment are usually engineered with that in mind. Locks are (usually) designed to be hard to pick, for instance.

I think locks are about as weak as software security, relatively speaking. The difference is that if an organized gang of criminals physically broke down the doors to a corporation and stole truckloads of computers, the law enforcement response would be significant. (And we mostly wouldn't be sitting around blaming the corporation for not hiring armed guards.)
