Remember what else happened to the men of Sodom. They were easily defeated in battle by a band of raiding warriors. What is significant is that a sheep and goat herder and his herdsmen and friends easily overcame the band that had carried off captives and plunder from Sodom. Remember that the men of Sodom weren’t interested in the strangers inside their gates except to force sex on them.
They were so consumed with their distracting pleasures that security, defense, and true strength were far down the list of important concerns. They were weak. Easily defeated.
Within their city they appeared strong. They banded together at Lot’s door and demanded this that and the other, and appeared to have the complicity of the authorities, but again, so distracted inward that they presented a weak face — and actual weakness — to outsiders intent on conquest.
