Not sure why you're getting downvoted, I think you have a point. Perhaps it's because folks could be skeptical that $1T will lead to the the creation of next gen good cybersecurity tech companies rather than abject cash grabs that ultimately fail.
Regardless, infrastructural tooling for usable organizational and societal level security is still not where it could be, and I don't know what it will take to get it there. Just throwing a wild gut feeling out there, it feels a bit like healthcare to me. There needs to be some kind of standardization and some kind of a standards body (likely governmental) that coordinates security as if it's an existential societal risk if done poorly, in the same way that epidemiology is done with respect to public health. Security hygiene and literacy needs to become a basic part of societal culture for any of this to change; not just that, but catastrophic adverse events that occur as a result of infosec braches ought to be rectified more thoroughly, and insurance taken out to fully indemnify against them. I don't see any of that happening, so I don't really see the foundation for any change towards a more digitally secure society. I hope I'm wrong.
