People have kids and jobs and many other problems.

  What does having kids, jobs and other problems have to do with an untrustworthy company which rug-pulls their customers possibly having the password to your bank account and other sensitive information? If anything, having other lives depend on you should make you more concerned with online security.

    As someone who's worked in cybersecurity in one capacity or another for my entire life: It's because people really don't care about security. They don't see it as something that needs effort like managing personal finances or cleaning your car. They want "set it and forget it". Psychologically, it's because there isn't any immediate benefit, and the perceived expected value of the effort is low. This problem is why I don't enjoy working in cyber security and probably won't go back to it.

      In defense of the normies I'd say life is complex. People don't know what they don't know. They're making risk assessments all the time, yet with (sometimes very) incomplete information. Mechanically minded folks say "why ever trust an auto shop?" Tech folks say "why ever give your data/device to someone else?" Handy types say "why pay so much for mediocre work from a plumber/electrician/etc.?"
