Many technologists fail to appreciate that security is not something which businesses want to provide at all margins.

(Consumers are similar; they're unwilling to literally or figuratively pay for security at all margins, too.)
However, since security is a sacred value, you're not really encouraged to voice aloud the necessary consequence of this, which is that e.g. there's some level of account takeovers or fraudulent claims or bank robberies which are acceptable losses (to be distributed somehow).
"You're being facetious about bank robberies, Patrick"
No I'm not. The direct cost of them is clustered around $8k per, which is less than the minimum buy-in for a lawsuit, which is why Don't Be A Hero is the first thing every bank employee learns at every training about this.

Society distributes the cost of bank robberies thus:
To deter potential scalable robberies, there is a bit of private investment in looking secure and some public investment in making "career bank robber" and "career prisoner" effectively synonymous.
Losses? Bank pays, the end.
