who would want to claim that their data isn't "highly sensitive"? How embarrassing that would be!

This isn't a sarcastic remark: I think a lot of human activity can be explained this way.

It isn't even data sensitivity.

Laptop stolen? What was on it? "zOMG, We Don't KNOW!?!!!1" Was it encrypted? Yes Was the lid closed? Yes Order another laptop and move along.

In particular, if the data doesn't belong to the hosting organization, but their clients, they probably have to consider it highly sensitive.
