Look at the picture I annotated showing what appears to be the hole where the locking mechanism secures. How the heck would you ever force that open with a screw driver? It's totally hidden in the arm itself, preventing prying from any angle.
There's no reason not to have it, only some weak reasons why it won't keep out everybody. You can honestly bypass the gas cap entirely if you were that determined and just puncture a hole directly in the fuel tank.
Maybe you're one of the few people who doesn't lock their door at night because this is a first world country?
