In theory you could take advantage of this by starting a company that hires people from the blue side at a premium and create products with top notch security.

Unfortunately I am not sure if currently consumers care that much about security of their products relative to convenience, price, and eye candy.
But in theory those who spend lots on red side will end up having a more expensive product and a bad reputation, so perhaps investing more on blue will win in the long run.

"Regular pen test" is seen as demonstrating security, which is as little perverse because the results don't typically get published so you could be having the same issues year after year and look just as good as someone who gets a clean bill each time.
