it would be like every time a business gets broken into you berate them for their lack of physical security. nobody does it because that would be inane, and what you are doing is a straight analog to it


If a bank holding your money gets broken into, everything is stolen, and the bank tells you your money is gone and you're not getting it back, do you think it would be within your rights to berate them or is that too mean? Because that's what the actual analogy here is. You're allowed to be lax with your security when you're the only victim of your negligence. When your lack of security causes other people to suffer harm, of course those people are going to have an issue.
