You would have to assume there is such a thing as a vault no one could ever break into as it concerns the relics. Given the various abilities and weapons available in Remnant, there is no guarantee any vault could keep an item safe indefinitely. It is likely the reason for placing the vaults in the Academies is to provide a buffer. Anyone looking to grab one of the relics would likely have to deal with a small army of trained warriors under normal circumstances. With these facts in mind, it makes perfect sense as in the event an academy falls, is falling, or is otherwise going to be unable to provide the buffer, then moving the relic becomes necessary and that requires someone being able to open it quickly and easily.
