I agree, but people seem to feel that their code should somehow be exempt from such advice, and so sacrifice safety for performance. This leads to today's sorry state of affairs.

The problem is that safety doesn't sell. If you're getting a new IoT heat lamp you look at the price and not the firmware's code. To your surprise, the first hacker coming along toasts your cat.
