This is driven by economic realities - Users don't understand what poor security costs them so won't pay for it - The legal system is curiously lax when it comes to software and people get away both with contractual opt-outs no physical device maker could and end users somehow manage to dodge all sorts of liabilities for carelessness on their part they couldn't with a car - Most users aren't able to tell good and bad security (the lemon problem) - Particularly in business the users don't actually care about security or taking insecure actions. It's not *their* problem if the hotel front desk gets a virus because they installed games on it. As with most things - if you want to fix it make it more expensive not to do so than to fix it, the rest then just happens.
