its just more convenient, say im outside my home, theres something i need in the car, i can either go back inside to get the keys, or just open the car from the app (not to mention turning on heater / AC remotely)
you can argue that the security tradeoff is not worth it, but claiming the demand is not there is just silly
I mean that is not what they argued, what they argued was

Which:

I think qualifies, personally. Your house might be way bigger than mine though
You can uncharitably call basically any consumer device that improves daily life in the last century as letting people "be a little more lazy".
Should we get rid of washing machines, dryers, Cuisinarts, in-sink disposals, etc too? They've even killed and injured people all so people could do slightly less work.
Humans love convenience, our entire modern life is oriented around technology created to serve those motivations. An extra way to unlock something with a single point of failure is unsurprisingly going to appeal to that same instinct.
