I agree with your tool selection ... In this case I think bike thieves will simply break something off inside the lock whenever they see one of these , a simple matchstick will do... very soon you won’t see these locks anymore.
Dremel moto tool with cutting bits ... just sayin’
Yup that was my first thought too....works even when bolt cutters don’t
Back in college I went by a bike rack and saw two partial bicycles locked up with U-locks. The first one had everything except a front wheel, and the second one only had a front wheel and really NASTY note on it. Seems the thief put together a bicycle from the unlocked portions of both, and the guy who lost his front tire (i.e., he had properly secured his bicycle) was not at all happy about his idiot neighbor.
It took me a while to figure out what had happened.
Interesting. Makes sense that hardened chain is available but a little cutting torch or hand grinder would quickly go through hardened steel.
