I didn't mention there were no leaks or is no incompetence. I wrote about the amount of corners that are no longer available to be cut. Corner cutting isn't exclusive to data leaks. It impacts everything, mostly the people actually working on the stuff.

Taking away responsibility from the people or departments that clearly can't handle it, that is what this means.

It does not mean that the responsibility that remains suddenly does no longer end up with incompetent actors. It just means it is now smaller, and smaller to a degree where it is very much worth it in most cases.

And just like I wrote earlier, there are cases where that works the other way around as well, and that just reinforces my point.
