A physical button is a on-of, a digital key infrastructure is years of expensive maintenance and updates to keep going. And as you noted they have to include physical bybass for other reasons. You’re used to computing costs as a software person, where hardware is an additional external expense. IOT manufacturers are first and foremost hardware people, they sell devices not bags of bits, they know how to make hardware as cheap as possible, and how to market hardware features so the marginal cost does not cost them a dime.
