No IP protocol level security (that is widely adopted, IPsec) a top down distribution of addresses. Tacked on mutant growth to fix systemic issues (DNS, NAT, etc). HTML-internet specifically, html is a document markup used for applications and javascript is a browser extension language turned Internet assembly. Maybe more than anything, people abuse what the Internet is for. Hospitals running their patient records over devices on the public Internet (that are almost certainly full of exploitable security holes on some port, which is probably an Internet "bug" in how easy it is to just barrage all the ports on a machine to find some exploitable application if they aren't proactive with managing the security).

Can you go into more detail on why you feel HTML is broken? I would have agreed with you back when IE 6 was still a "thing." But these days with strict XHTML, CSS, for appearance/layout, and JS for logic we seem to actually be at a very good place for moving forward. I'd even go as far as to say that XHTML/CSS and JS do a better job separating responsibilities than many programming frameworks I've used do. Do I think they're perfect? No. In fact I hate typeless languages like JS. But it is "good enough."

  Everything is good enough. An evolutionary biology professor said this once, and it struck me as deep wisdom: "life doesn't work perfectly, it just works." You could say life works better than dead.
