Because taking a holistic look at an entire system and attempting to improve it is better than relying on each and every individual. Take aviation for example. If there is a plane crash and it is found that the pilots ignored a warning indicator, they look and see if the warning was prominent enough, if it is properly prioritized, and if it is something that can be corrected at the system level. Pilot training is only one of many factors they look at, and human error is taken as an inevitability.
In aviation, pilots are highly trained and highly regulated. With accessing services online, it is basically universal access by all people of all skill and intelligence levels. Making a system more inherently secure is the only reasonable solution.
