Look at the improvements made in car security over the last 30 years, on bikes it's pretty much the same, or with some manufacturers, worse.
Yes BMW are certainly doing their bit for security by making their bikes weigh more than the average van can carry LOL

If a bolt cutter does not do the job a battery angle grinder with a cutting disc will make short work of any chain or ground anchor (hardened or not, makes little difference) and not that noisy either. If I lived in a city that had clamping I would carry one in the boot of my car.
