It is well documented that this is not at all what people desire from technology. What people buy directly contradicts this.
People _could_ use PGP. They _could_ use strong passwords. They _could_ move to defederated social networks. They _could_ lobby their congressional representatives to break up Apple because their walled garden is a vertical monopoly that harms consumers.*
They could do all sorts of things, but they do not. The trade-offs are not worth it to "people".
