Cybersecurity is akin to home security. Most people will get a alarm at most, and otherwise have a house which is totally unprepared to defend them against a special forces hit squad. Few people here have seriously considered how they will stop a gang of a dozen bloodthirsty criminals from kidnapping them and forcing them to reveal their credentials even if they're thought about post-quantum cryptography. Yet this all works out because they can easily hide in the crowd, there are plenty of other societal institutions which generally deter home invaders.
The problem with cybersecurity is with companies that horde a great number of people's personal information or who have a great amount of privileged access and then decide to care about security.
