Secure web servers are the equivalent of heavy armoured cars. The problem is, they are being used to transfer rolls of coins and cheques written in crayon by people on park benches to merchants doing business in cardboard boxes from beneath highway bridges.

People in general are not interested in paying extra for increased safety. At the beginning seat belts cost $200 and nobody bought them.
