It's good point you make, my experience is from cars, but i bought my Landcruiser with an aftermarket immobilizer fitted. I have had bad experiences with other vehicles on other trips that became immobilized at just the wrong moment so i wanted shot of it.
I removed it and had the vehicle running in under 10 minutes. I was being neat and wanted to make a proper job of it, if i was just trying to start it to steal it it wouldn't have taken more than 2 minutes tops. This is with no manuals or previous experience of Landcruiser electrics.
Installed as it was, it basically offered zero protection against theft.
