The problem is that cybersecurity is ridiculous hard problem.
Security is challenging, but there are lots of things we know how to do better that many software developers still aren't doing. For example, if you're still writing application-level software in an inherently dangerous programming language in 2021 and that application handles important data in a connected device, you're part of the problem. If you ship a networked hardware product with a standard password for all devices or forget to disable the backdoor access used during development, if you use encryption or hashing methods that are known to be weak, etc. These things obviously won't solve all security problems, but they are low-hanging fruit that is still being left on the tree far too often.
