Are door locks actually intended to deter professional thieves though? I thought they were intended to add enough friction to deter crimes of opportunity.

I think they are meant to comply with the requirement of some insurer that the house must be able to be locked. That's it. The professional thieves in the US don't even bother picking the lock, they break down the door and are in.
