I think you're missing the point (or I'm inferring it incorrectly), that, put simply, there is a cost associated with implementing the security measure (both to build it and the inconvenience to customers) which in some cases outweighs the potential cost of the exploit.

Of course cost/benefit ratios should be considered. Not much point to debating that when it's obvious they weren't.

That's not weighing costs, that's being criminally negligent.
