Security measures, especially those that protect the users, don't make money.

This is why the government has to make regulations with teeth in this space (of course, the government could be the "unprincipled in charge" you referred to).

Not specifically, but I suppose I wouldn't say that politicians are more or less principled than corporate executives. I know some would argue otherwise, but I'm too black pilled at this point to have faith in any "public servant".

Nevertheless, government regulation is probably the way to actually address these issues. Government may lock competence or will, but at least it provides us some leverage, little it may be.
