How is this considered "controversial", really? The world is polluted with poorly designed software and services that mishandle data. Why wouldn't the creators be held responsible for that?

We've spent far too much effort on blaming the victims of data breaches, it's way past time to lay some of it at the correct feet. How often have we lectured about password reuse, or guessable passwords, for example? It's not a user's fault that passwords suck; it's our fault for continuing to make passwords a default. It's not their fault for believing the "military grade encryption" BS on our product pages; it's our fault for making up the BS while not actually protecting data. I could go on.
