We're still talking about turning "random creeper you'd give your keys to but not for long enough to dupe" into "random creeper who has your keys." Intentionally duplicating someone's keys against their will is still malignant, whether they do it with an iPhone or an Altoids tin full of playdoh and a couple tubes of JB Weld (works and well).

It's the "lead me not into temptation" argument: that somehow, if it's that much easier to do something you'll do it and that the barrier to entry is the difficulty of the task. If that's the case (and I don't think it is), then the only real change this makes is it empowers the crime-ignorant but phone-savvy creepers.
