You're implicitly assuming that having not-terribly-tech-savvy organizations (like governments) protect their own data is somehow better.
In theory you could keep all the personal data not connected to the net at all, in any way. In practice, before long nobody is going to do that except extremely paranoid organizations like the NSA, CIA and military (and equivalent non-US organizations.)

If all the data is in one place, the payoff for hacking it is much greater than if each bit of data is on a different machine. As the man said, "why do you rob banks? Because that's where the money is."
