Probably because most people don't care if they get hacked. They've never had major consequences from it. They think that someone will always be there to hold there hand. I am confident in my security. My biggest concern is making sure I have a solid dead man's switch in place before I die or get dementia.

how do you do this, any hints?
I use LastPass’s Emergency Access feature for this.
You can designate people who can access your Vault, after a certain waiting period. If they request access prematurely, I can revoke it during the waiting period.
There are written instructions for my next of kin on what to look for in the Vault.
The main difficulty is if my next of kin forget their LastPass master password.
I’ve been thinking of distributing a key via a set of USB stick using Shamir’s secret sharing, with written instructions to use them to recover a backup of the Vault kept offline… but have not gotten around to this.
