As this space evolves, I think there will be insurance and basic best practice safety measures. Also considering that almost all blockchains are open by design, it's no trivial task to liquidate a large sum of stolen tokens. So its not exactly a straight path from writing a script at Starbucks to making hundreds of millions of dollars.

I agree. There are already some insurance protocols in place - see Cover Protocol or Unslashed Finance. Its still very early in this space, but things are definitely developing!

There already are a number of insurance options.
