That's true but it's like saying most everyone has a small chance of crashing their car. Yet when someone crashes their car because they were texting while driving, speeding, or drunk, we justifiably blame them for it instead of calling them unlucky. We can blame them because there are clear rules they are supposed to know for safety when driving, just as there are for electronic security. The rule for avoid phishing is called "hang up, look up, call back".

Yeah but society doesn't act as if it's an unthinkable event we never planned for when a car crash happens. Blame someone or don't, but there are going to be emergency responders used to dealing with car crashes coming, because we know that car crashes happen (a lot) and we need to be ready for it.

		Yes of course we need to defend against scammers at multiple levels because none of them are bulletproof, so putting too much trust in individual developers also a problem here. Even if they didn't get hacked, they could have just become the hacker themselves.
