Blaming the user alone is crazy.
If I login to my gmail account using a different PC, google won't let me in without sending a text to my phone or a code to my email. Sometimes, even using a different browser on the same PC I typically use triggers this security check. Even after letting me in, Gmail will send a notice of the strange login to my backup email - the mail will contain the time and ip of the event.
Same with telegram. Loging to a new app/device and Telegram will sends the notification to the two apps I use on my main PC, my secondary pc, and my phones. Deleting the notification on one client app won't remove it from the rest. This way, an intruder can't erase the evidence.
Also, almost almost every other email service I own badgers me to set up 2factor - either another email, a phone, back up codes or 2-factor authenticator apps.
If Google/Nest isn't doing this - then, part of the blame lies with them. These basic, obvious, common sense security/password practices you know is breaking news to "NORMAL" people.
