> users broadly don't prioritize security + privacy

Users broadly have no way of analyzing security + privacy. Even most software developers don't have the time or expertise to reverse engineer and analyze even one app, let alone every release of every app they use. They just have to take it on trust. For things like cars we have mandatory standards for vehicle design, crash testing requirements, fuel efficiency and emissions standards etc. to try and make sure that people can expect a certain level of performance and safety. For software there's nothing like that.
