Indeed. "Security" concerns are opinion masquerading as fact.
Police reports show crime actually goes down during a blackout.
Seems the crooks don't like to use a flashlight that would herald their presence in the darkness! Duh.
Motion sensing lights are also effective. Again heralding movement in an
area where there should be none. Burning floodlamps all night long
as wasteful. lazy and dumb.
But some adults and little children don't like the dark...Bogey men and monsters under the bed.
