I agree. But do we then have any quantitative research on how bad
this sort of sharing really is, in excess of the basic cryptographic

I am not sure what quantitative measurement of vulnerability would
even mean. What units would said quantity be measured in?
I'm not sure either. This is just a gut feeling. But *certainly* sharing
as such can be quantified somehow, and numbers could be derived about
the social network where sharing takes place. Then *certainly* the
results can be correlated with their effect upon, say, average numbers
of breaks/leaks/bad-stuff, over whatever statistical horizon we might
have with those.
Quite a lot of stuff can be quantified, even if the relevant
distributions prove rather spread out.
