"To me this seems extremely elitist."
Right, it probably is. But the issue of stolen personal data has been around for so long that nontechnical people have had years to develop political lobbying and to swing elections to put a stop to it.
The fact is that most people don't give a damn about such matters, if most did then the problems would be behind us by now.
Thus, unfortunately, with the internet it's every man and woman for him or herself. QED!
