Bumping always mystified me, in a sense that as I've understood it its for pin tumbler locks, so why do people use them? Every place I've lived has had Abloy locks (which no doubt have their own problems), but as far as I know they at least can't be bumped.

Most people in the US have Schlage or Kiwkset deadbolt locks, or something similar to that. Bump keying them is trivial.

Kwikset has almost completely gone to their new SmartKey system, which uses wafers, and is harder to bump. It has other vulnerabilities, but bumping isn't one of them.
