you have. Notably, some manufacturers are actually making locks that survive the most common power tool attacks to a sufficient degree to be worth using, as opposed to generic locks that, well... do this...

They just go in, 20s with grinder and then are gone.
This is a scenario that, yeah, should generally be avoided. It's simply not terribly useful to suggest that it can't be.

Which, of course, means that there's no difference at all between a lock that takes a couple of seconds to cut through with an angle grinder, and one that takes 10 minutes or more, correct?

Even if that is a 'weak lock' that can be opened by picking. So the two lock does double the time in my view. Sure, I'd make those not the type that can be opened by a 12 year old and a youtube video, but I'd still use two for the reasons I outlined.
I am exceptionally happy for you, and anyone else to subscribe to the single lock that rates highly approach.
It's generally not difficult to "win" an argument no one else is engaged in. Of course two locks is better than one. Well, two *good* locks are better than one. Two *bad* locks may as well not be there at all, following your own logic. Wearing belts and suspenders together isn't of much use if they can't actually hold your pants up.
