When EVERY random teenager can easily access these tools and learn these tricks, it's liable to start causing some larger scale problems that could indeed force change in the industry.

This stuff has been publicly available for decades. I learned using the MIT Guide to Lock Picking from 1991, and bought a lockpicking set online, and off I went. Nowadays it's just easier and more accessible (like most things).
This guy has a YouTube channel with nearly 3 million subscribers and he's made nearly 1,300 hundred videos. There are dozens of subreddits focused on lock picking with hundreds of thousands of users. I am not sure what the definition of "every random teenager" really is but I can do web search and find and instructional video, it's good enough for my purposes.
Many, maybe even most of his videos of locks made by companies who sell in common retail outlets demonstrate low skill attacks and still more demonstrate low effort / specialised knowledge attacks. He also has a web store where you can buy a bunch of tools for this.
So even someone like me who has lost most of the use of my right hand can open many of the big name locks on the market without much difficulty. Most cases it's a web search to a video and perhaps next day delivery of a tool kit. Many times the attack is ridiculously trivial and can be done with stuff one might find in your average garage shop.
I mean look at some of his videos... "open with a fork" "open with a shim made out of a coke can" "open with a strong magnet" "open with a lego figure" "open with a spoon" "open by raking with a rake lock pick" "open with a sharp blow with a small hammer" "open by drilling here" "open by grinding this part" "open with a pocket knife" "open with a butter knife" "open with the top of a bic pen"
