It is certainly a difficult problem and as such, like most difficult problems, it will likely not be fixed in any meaningful manner. We will likely be talking about this exact issue in 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years from now.
Cyberspace Solarium Commission [1] created a robust and well documented roadmap for the Biden transition team to address some of these fundamental problems. IMHO, it is one of the better policy documents and has a number of really good recommendations that I believe would be extremely helpful. The #1 thing I think we could do is address accountability, who is responsible for the security of devices/software and what legal recourse should people have if the vendor doesn't adequately secure or support their products.
I think that there are a bunch of issues and one of the biggest ones is that what we say vs what we do are 2 different things. We also have issues where many of the core business practices that are commonly accepted are incompatible with building a secure and resilient infrastructure.
