I’d agree with you if laziness wasn’t endemic in software engineering. But we constantly see people’s PII leaked on the internet, accounts hacked and money stolen, due to piss poor safeguards in the industry.

And yes, this is a different issue, but it’s another symptom of the same problem. Tech businesses don’t give a shit, and developers make excuses about how it’s not life or death. Except our bad choices do still negatively affect people’s lives even if we try to convince ourselves it doesn’t.
