It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Most people use lock cutters, not disc grinders. This won’t stop a lock cutter.
You would need a 10 feet long, 200 pound cutter to have the leverage to go thru that beast of a locker.
This is why you need a tandem bike with a custom mount for your 10+ foot long bolt cutter and your partner in crime to help you use it.
You could use a handheld hydraulic one that run on batteries. There are bigger rescue versions that also have batteries and need two hands, but they can go through up to 50mm(the lock is 32mm) of solid steel. Although they're expensive. There are also hand pump ones that could go through that.
The actual issue the cutting heads, since it's probably very hardened.
How about a portable powered hydraulic cutter?
Yeah. If YouTube taught me anything, it's that you can exert any about of force with hydraulics, gearing, and time. You could probably put together something built with a cat waterer pump, powered by a couple D-cell batteries. It might take a while, but it'll get 'er done.
The bike thieves I’ve seen have used car jacks to pry the lock apart. I have no idea if these expensive locks would hold up that any better.
What cutter would even have a remote chance against any legit u-lock? Those are used on shitty cable locks and low end chains.
I'd love to see you get through one of these with a bolt cutter.
