In my experience, the entire world runs on insecure systems (and will continue to do so until companies start getting sued into oblivion for leaking data). Secure systems are the exception--not the norm. It's just not a priority because companies only prioritize things that "add value". So until we attach a real cost to lack-of-security, it won't be valued.
