It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

What I've learned from dutch people is that you need to have at least two lock to really lower the chance of getting your bike stolen.
A solid U lock plus a frame lock should be enough to make the next bike more attractive to steal.
Have you considered a pannier?
I throw my locks (one chain, one cable/u-lock combo) in my pannier and forget about em. They're also much nicer than a backpack for carrying anything because of the hot, humid climate I live in.
I used the Abus Granit for the U lock. It had a clip that you put on the bike so it stays there while but in use.
Something like that https://static.lceassets.com/thumbnails/88/8884da9e831e159d899421af611ffa907fae5973/150-support-ush-460-abus-square-1000x1000.jpg
I feel like the inconvenience of locking the bike twice every single time you want to stop somewhere almost negates the convenience of having a fast convenient personal vehicle.
Personally I find that the way I have mine make it more convenient than when I had a single cheaper lock.
The keys are captive on the frame lock while it's open, so I can leave the keys on it while riding and I know I'll never forget them.
When I stop I push the lever of the frame lock, get the keys, unclip the U from the frame and attach the bike.
It's faster this way rather than having to look in my bag or pocket for the keys.
