And yes i know that for example a software dev or similar IT role may get real value out of securing their system as:

Your system may provide access to other systems and it is is not to hard to make sure you are not low hanging fruit for an automated hack.. so its totally worth investing the time and effort.. plus your online persona etc. is statistically probably more important to you for all kinds of reason..

but really that type of user accounts for a very low percentage.

Also note that corporate PCs (which are a much more valuable target for general hacks) often have lots more security including hardware 2 factor etc.

Also note i am no security expert, i am just talking about what its like trying to get people i talk to to care about security / privacy.
