Should addresses be removed from driver licenses?

An elderly woman was a victim of a violet purse snatching. After dragging the poor woman for a bit, the perpetrator made off with her purse and keys.
Then while she was waiting for police, he drove to her house (one town over) and attempted to burglarize her home. Luckily, her husband was able to ward him off.
We are often warned not to put our address on our keys. But if they are usually kept in the same place with our wallets, isn’t that essentially the same thing?
Agencies that need our address should be able to look it up with an access code online. Walking around with personal information seems a bit archaic in this day and age.
Am I missing something? Is there a good reason to keep it?
