But that's the whole (big) deal. The solution is usually the trivial and easy part - getting people to change is the hard part.
Humanity is littered with millions of problems that could be solved if it wasn't for inertia. A solution cannot simply be better or more convenient - it has to be so overwhelmingly better, so much more convenient for people to even consider switching.
And while this solution is better, I don't see your average person caring enough to take the time to make sure they've whitelisted all services they use.
