It doesn't seem elucidating to make an analogy between a thing-- math-- and it's own subset-- crypto.
Worse, crypto is defined by essentially having the added requirement to at least not be the weakest link in keeping jewels locked in a safe. In that sense the addition of axioms becomes a liability in a way they are not in broad math.
Put another way, math as a field was able to mature because it lacked this hard requirement that crypto has. If mathematicians suddenly decided add this requirement of jewel-keeping to math broadly then-- bam-- math instantly becomes the same "immature" field that crypto currently is.
