How is this not a priority? And even worse, how is it possible that a bazillion of the supposedly smartest engineers did not fix it? In many other industry you'd get killed over this as a software engineer.

I don't buy that. In any other industry, you'd have a hard time even explaining what the problem is. "Someone wrote down my password in plaintext - yeah, that was me, it's sitting right there on my monitor".
