The key word there is “if.” Most people don’t care about the security because they’re unaware of the risks involved. Stories like this blow over in a week or two.
Most people don’t want to lose their stuff because they forget a password. That’s why unencrypted data and password resets are a thing.
What we as tech people should be doing is educating and helping those people. Set your family up with a NAS for local backup and have it mirror to, say, Backblaze. Set your parents/grandparents up with a password manager. Etc.
