For myself, it would be unbelievable if airplanes didn't have power door locks, with safety mechanisms preventing doors to be open on flight..
I think we've established that it's going to be physically impossible to open the door inflight to begin with, so that's a non-issue. And why would airplanes have locks simply because cars have them?
