Exactly, I don't know if I've ever used the key locks on the outside of the car either, and mine's about the same old as yours. I start to wonder why they even bother putting the locks on the outside of the car in the first place. My guess is that car manufacturers will stop putting them on in a few years. VW already only puts one on the driver's side, not on the passenger's side.
Some people will say, "what if the batteries on my remote die, or my car battery is dead?" However, the drivers side only keyhole in my 1999 Jetta had no physical connection to the locking mechanism anyway, all it was is a switch that would tell the car to unlock the door.
Lots of cars, don't even have keys of any kind these days. My dad's Prius, you just leave the key in your pocket, you never have to touch the key. if the key's in your pocket when you pull the door handle, the car will unlock, then you just press the power button on the dash. When you leave the car, you just press the black button on the handle to lock the car.
