I've been a cop for 12 years in a smallish city (40k population bedroom community). Taken a lot of vehicle burglary reports. Thieves taking the time to try and defeat a glove box lock is rare (at least where I am) The scenarios these days are items left in plain sight, or unlocked doors. All they want are credit cards to run to WalMart and buy as many iPhones or gift cards as they can.

While I agree that if our glove box lock is that flimsy, you probably shouldn't bet your life on it, I would still advise that it's sufficient for 80% of what people are using it for.
