CGPGray mentions this in his older video about encryption. Locks are a deterrent, but a motivated person or government forces can bypass relatively easy. The reason it works is because of the personal danger to people trying to break in getting caught. He used it to contrast how digital locks need to be much stronger since they can be "picked" from across the world without any physical danger of being caught or arrested.

And maybe one day governments will realize that if they mandate a one size fits all key to encryption they are intentionally breaking that lock and someone will both figure it out and use it against them.

Yeah, that's what prompted the video. It was back when US government was demanding an Apple backdoor, and he argued what you said.
