Why do most people still live in houses that could burn down, or be broken into with no more effort than breaking a thin sheet of glass?

Don't you live in a house like that?

Also, anywhere there is an entrance is a risk no matter what it's made out of.

Yes. Being kicked out of an apartment because you called the police on your landlord is not the most convenient time to get a house built.

I looked into buying some land and moving into a mobile home / trailer on it with the plans to build something more to my liking, but I didn't come up with any options that were anywhere near reasonable.

There are always risks. But you could easily make a poured concrete structure with iron bars over windows mimicking the look of divided windows, and avoid other flammable building materials.
