That's because there is no such thing as "truly secure", there can only be "secure under an assumed threat model, where the attacker has these specific capabilities: ...". I agree that software engineering is getting away with chaos and insanity compared to civil or other engineering practices, which have to obey the laws of physics.

Remind me of the One World Trade Center rebuild, and "if you want a 747-proof building, you're building a bunker".
Translate the internet to the real world, and basically every building (IP address) is getting shot at, hit by planes, nuked, bioweapons are stuffed into the mail slot, and lock-picked all day, every day.
