Your attitude is a symptom of a broader issue that plagues this industry: Indifference to risk*probability. If you don't ship software with "secure defaults" (depending on the threat/attack model), you essentially are handing out loaded shotguns, then blaming the "dumb" user when they inevitably point it at their foot and click the trigger. Easy solution: Don't hand out the gun loaded -- make the user do specific actions that enable the usage. Yeah, it creates some friction to first time deployment, but that's a secondary concern to having your freaking DB leaking all over the place.
