Nope, not at all.
>Security is everyone’s job
In theory at well run tech companies ideally yes, but when you're overworked and underpaid and crunching like in a sweatshop to meet some arbitrary deadline coming from above that you did not agree with, then work becomes a chore doing the bare minimum just to get home before dinner, and every other potential issue outside my allotted tickets that's not part of my KPIs becomes "not my job" and "someone else's problem" because "fuck it, I'm already overworked and I won't get any extra recognition for doing even more overtime on security topics nobody seems to care about".
In short, as a dev, you don't care about the outcome of the product because you're not paid or empowered enough to care.
Shit rolls uphill. If you want devs to actually give a fuck about the product as a whole instead of just mindlessly punching Jira tickets, then you need to empower them, pay them well and respect them and their WLB, which the vast majority of companies worldwide do not (HNers are a priviledged bubble that's the exception). Otherwise you get what you se before you, a shitshow, because most tech companies are run like crap.
