Cause the users dont know what they are actually buying. They go for superficial signs of quality - like weigth, design, surfacepolishing and nice UI. Security of a object is a thing you can only evaluate the day it turns around and snaps at you. Now the default american solution for this, would be to have a "Late-Adopter" plugin, allowing to install "Additional" Gated-Comunity-Security for the rich - and let the mob become one huge botnet, held back by aggressive campaigns of bricking whole device classes remote should they be a threat to the "devices" in the better neighbourhoods. Unfortunatly the rest of the world is either too poor or unwilling to follow this model, which means we are going to see a regulated, securty TÜV checked model in europe and japan, state regulated devices in china & russia - and a wild west everywhere else.
