In order to hot wire the car, you'd still have to know where all the wires were going, and which ones were ignition, starter, etc even if you reached up and could grab wires. You splice the wrong two, and you'll blow a fuse or relay that won't let you start the car period. Of all 5-6 wires, only 2 will work, which leaves a great many more combinations to fail with. All-in-all, it's actually easier to steal it by just breaking the steering column plastic cover and jumping the connections, which bypasses any alarm anyway. Also, your door latch assembly looks pretty typical. Most door lock actuators actually sit up inside the door and go to the lock assembly there (instead of the handle switch), and they surely didn't know you had a newer model with the ds door lock actuator (as the non-actuated and actuated ds assemblies look almost identical). To me, it just looks like a quick install without much care put into it. Their thought is probably something like "the more wires we have strewn to all different places throughout the cabin, the harder it will be to determine what wire is what." It's that you're learning your car's system, though.
