And that’s how you get a culture where severe private data breaches and crashy code are the status quo :/

We can do better. Why don’t we? I guess the economical argument explains most of it. I think if more governments would start fining SEVERELY for data breaches (with no excuses tolerated), we’d see a lot more people suddenly start caring about code quality :)

Governments care about the "economical argument" even more so. They don't want to scare away tech companies.

Besides, today's governments don't protect privacy, rather the opposite.

Sure. And if governments started shooting people for drunk driving, we'd have less drunk driving.

Some of us don't like the negatives even if we would enjoy the positives.
