Yeah these are definitely valid - I live alone in a condo, so the benefits just don’t appeal to me as much. My friend has a rental so he is already more inclined to find more utility in those features as well.

If my kid shows up locked out, he can ring the doorbell, it’ll message me whever I am, we can have a conversation, I can unlock door remotely.
When we’re in vacation and we have a problem, I can disable/enable new users without giving anyone a key.
If the battery dies, There a backdoor with the same keying and there’s a key hidden somewhere. If the WiFi is out, I just can’t remote unlock or enable/disable codes. It still works as a code/key lock.
