First, most locks work with batteries and notify well in advance about low battery, they also come with a old fashined physical keys, so in case it dies, you can still use the key instead of your access code. Second, they work without internet, you need internet only if you want to be able to add/remove access codes remotely while not physical present.

About finding smart locks dystopian, I feel like a lock that notifies lock/unlock is far better than say a device like nest cam/door bell with abilities to capture video/pictures and for whatever reason are more widely accepted than smart locks.
