??? -- Don't FBI statistics show that MOST residential burglary/robbery
suspects enter through the front door? The second favorite entry was, if
  I'm not mistaken, the back sliding glass door.

Now, if this is true, how does the panel being located in the garage
make it "too easy to defeat" in comparison to the laundry room/pantry?
It seems that the laundry room/pantry is just as accessible.

This "too easy to defeat" paranoia is coming from people who think about
alarm installation too much without actually doing it.
