If an idea is reasonably feasible, I just assume someone, somewhere is already doing it.
The practical benefit is lowering my cognitive overhead, transaction costs.
Instead of guarding against every possible attack vector, I take basic precautionary measures, and then decide if any action is worth the risk, knowing full well it'll likely go terribly wrong.
So I always wear a mask, use a password wallet, drive just under the speed limit. Etc. It's habit, routine. Then when I step outside my personal safety bubble, it's an affirmative choice.
