the 5$ wrench in this case is not a good analogy because there is no way to know who own a bitcoin wallet. Thus you don’t know who you should use the 5$ wrench on.

That's probably overstating the degree of security Bitcoin gives you in practice, but it's likely better than having a centralized list of names and account numbers.
