Delegating half of the problem to someone else is not what I’d call “completely solved”.

I suppose your point is, nobody should live a life where they can’t trust someone to keep that pdf for them, but it feels to me like solving a technical problem through social means. That’s a fresh take, but it also relies on so many assumptions.

But this technical problem is unsolvable, our industry lived in arrogance of pretending they solve problems they can't actually they don't, and blaming the user when it fails

Account security is social. It's using social means to solve a social problem, with a technical bridge.
