I disagree. I’d take the Economists route, which is looking for the incentives that drive motivation. If companies were held to a higher standard of accountability, imagine how many would beef up their security. For decades, security researchers have been poking fun at how ridiculous some of these sites are at handling security, and nothing ever happens.

Now, imagine if there was severe economic accountability to a company that was hacked. Perhaps payouts to each person affected (in this case, to all 150m). I imagine you’d see security become a top priority very quickly at most companies.
