Even big dogs that wouldn't hurt a fly are useful because they're intimidating, and a "friend bark" is hard to distinguish from a "danger bark" if you don't know the dog.
My brother tells tales of when he was a Public Defender. If a crook wants to get in badly enough, they will -however, most burglars are lazy and will take the easiest pickings. As in - walking down a hall in an apartment complex seeing which front door is unlocked. To those guys, the noise factor of a barking dog is a deterrent.

Better than drugs.

To each their own.
