When you have to manage access to 3 different properties or vehicle gates in addition to garage door, the HomeLink thing becomes pretty valuable. I have it in multiple vehicles and it really cuts down in “clicker management”.
I generally park inside the garage, but I have thought about security as well when I park outside. Most modern garage doors have a “wireless lockout feature”. My Liftmaster has a button on my interior garage door pad that basically ignores all wireless open commands. So if someone broke in the 4Runner and tried to open the garage, it won’t do anything until I open it in the morning from inside.
If security was a huge concern than I would just carry wireless combination pad like those you would install just outside of the garage door, or perhaps rewire the HomeLink to not have power unless the ignition was powered on.
