The problem is two-fold. The average users doesn't care about security and probably never will.

Many developers like to hack software together. To make it secure requires discipline and more time and knowledge when developing it. Most businesses don't really care about this. They just want it finished fast.

The only way it will change is if the government starts fining companies for software that has a crazy amount of bugs or requiring developers to be certified.

I honestly don't think many developers even have the ability to write software without the obvious bugs we see popping up today. For sure we would see less companies outsourcing to countries like India.
