What about when you’re at work and want to let the repair person in? Or you run an Airbnb and want to let in your guests without having to worry about keys and lockboxes. Or you want to let in a family member. I think there are valid reasons for that.
Yeah, this reminds me of the other article on the frontpage, about Google not understanding why anyone needs 5m files in Drive. Well, maybe you don't.

Sure. In such a scenario I could have cameras in place if I’m super paranoid. In my experience repair people have been extremely professional and have a reputation to uphold, so if I can’t be at home and a repair needs to happen, I don’t see a problem if that convenience is important to me.
Different areas of the world have different trust levels. In northern Europe nobody would think twice about letting in the repairman, we trust each other. It is a great place to live.
