I would love for services that I REALLY care about never ever ever being broken into (email, web hosting) there was ONLY the $100-and-speak-to-a-human option to change the password

I would even make it $100 + skype and show live on skype your passport.

"showing your passport on skype" seems insecure - I imagine it would not be very hard to paste a page with some computer-vision image registration barcodes on the photo page, and then hack up a video filter which pastes in an arbitrary bitmap.
