> More security = less accessibility

That this tends to be true does not make it a law of nature. I think it’s a false dichotomy born of security people focusing on the outer extremes of threat modeling and preparing for worst case scenarios, and rarely if ever considering the most common cases and tradeoffs “real” security asks of users. See “Why Johnny Can’t Encrypt,” and the rest of the usable security literature.
