This is just a terrible argument. Often times, systems are compromised through social engineering so it's not even remotely possible to solve this issue by software engineering alone. But more importantly, think about the morality of what you are saying. It is absolutely not ethical to rob someone just because they are an easy target.
I despise this sort of "technological nihilism." Just because something can be done with technology doesn't mean that it should be done. The fact that bitcoin exists does not mean we should revert back to the stone age. Anarchy is obviously a very bad idea, but I guess some people are determined to learn this lesson the hard way.
