That’s true, but with a good quality U-lock you get a significant weight reduction in comparison to a chain, plus it’s usually easy to attach and detach them to the bike. Less easy to secure the bike to whatever structure, though.

As a rule of thumb, attaching it high up away from the ground makes it more difficult to cut it, without the leverage from the ground.
