The point is degree of difficulty. I can cut off a 1/2 plate steel door in minutes with my plasma cutter, but most people don't have that capability. Your opportunistic thief will unscrew an allen head or hex head, but anything that requires a special tool is likely to slow them down. Security screws have been used for years to stop people disassembling equipment, taking off access doors etc. If the degree of difficulty outweighs the benefit, most thieves will not bother.
