I absolutely agree that there's no easy solution to this (or it would've been "fixed" already).

One of my concerns is that people believe it's only a risk if they ever open source their application. While most apps don't have to worry about a motivated attacker in reality, the risk isn't simply secure or unsecure.

It's more a case of 'more difficult' vs. 'much easier' to compromise. I fear many engineers don't think of securing their apps like this. I know I've only recently begun to understand this way of thinking about security and it's changed the way I code.
