That may be so, but it's better than any cable lock, weighs somewhat less than a typical boat anchor and it discourages casual thieves. I avoid leaving my bike in one place unattended for any length of time and I'm extra cautious after dark, but there's always a risk and it's actually very tricky to stop a determined professional thief with an angle grinder, etc.
STM allows bicycles on Montreal Metro trains except at peak times. They should up their game and either expand their facilities for bikes on trains during these hours or else provide supervised parking, imo.
