The usual argument being, that the large companies have the resources and knowledge to implement and maintain a secure system. Which, compared to pretty much any smaller company is somewhat likely. But what gets overlooked IMHO is (a) there is also likely much more incentive to hack Amazon, Google, Facebook then there is to hack any random webshop, and (b) the power of meta-data (x uses services y,z regularly) we give into the hands of large companies whose objective is the extraction of as much money as possible out of their data (see loosely related: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18085580 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18085580) My stance being that decentralization can solve (a) & (b) and the problem of secure systems need to be solved by educating users and developers and at the same time imposing sensitive regulations on the security to be expected from any system on the internet.
