It's unfortunate that "good UX" isn't really considered across all fields which have users. The recommendations to mitigate security fatigue are no different than any sort of user frustration:

1. Limit the number of ~~security~~ decisions users need to make;

2. Make it simple for users to choose the right ~~security~~ action; and

3. Design for consistent decision making whenever possible.

#2 is part of the problem. Users typically aren't informed enough to know the right action. I think that's one of the reasons we are in the current mess we're in.

Attempting to explain the situation in plane, simple language is a better approach in my opinion.

I'm not sure you could come up with language plain or simple enough, if for no other reason than because most people will not read it regardless.
