It's worse than that. Not only do almost all users ignore security (as do many 
organizations), it seems that every new piece or version of software or 
hardware *reduces* security. And this applies to some new protocols (remember 
WiFi's WEP debacle?) and some extensions to or uses of existing ones.

It's all done in the name of convenience, and, in particular, striving for 
universal inter-connectedness. For example, I have fairly recently started 
receiving spam TXT messages containing links to who-knows-what. Yet (some) 
Samsung smart phones urge you to "share your contact list with others" -- and 
this admonition can't be disabled, it seems.

Another example is we got a new air-conditioner that has WiFi built-in, but 
it's only usable via the GE/Haier server, not locally (which might actually be 
useful). Luckily, the WiFi can be disabled (supposedly), so maybe this will 
stop it from being part of an IoT botnet, since its tiny computer likely can't 
get security updates.

In other words, securing email may be the least of our problems in the near 
future.
