From a purely economic point of view: if the end user doesn't care about security, then why bother having security?

Regarding users caring about security, there's three possibilities:

- Users should care about security but they don't because they're dumb/ignorant.

- Users don't care about security because it's not worth the cost/it doesn't affect them, so they're right in not caring (they have 'nothing to hide').

- Some combination of them.

Because they don't know that they care. They only will when they find their credit has been stolen, or their identity. Having security upfront is doing the right thing so that the industry doesn't become overly regulated.
