Why not microchip controlled locking bolts inside the frame that prevent pedals and or steering from turning?
Without the right key fob to unlock the bike is useless and resale value zero.
(Because the lock is inside the frame tubes and built to not come out in locked mode)
This is what car anti theft devices do AFAIK… why not bikes?

Cars are huge compared to bikes and have enclosures protected from the outside world. Try that with a bike without increasing the weight while making it still hard to just break apart. Oh, and you probably need some energy to make it all work, too. Also there's costs and chip shortage. But yeah, main point is to make it actually secure within the given space and dimensions.
