Mmh, misunderstood my criticism: I expressed a concern towards the fact that 
some problems are being handled seriously and with a lot of effort (e.g. 
Eros/Coyote and secure operating systems), others not so much and I asked 
"why?".

Why not academia?  There is plenty of development in operating systems, HCI, 
etc. which comes straight out of academia into the commercial world often 
funded by the very companies which then use the research commercially.  Are 
security companies/~academic researchers too busy/arrogant/whatever not to 
cooperate? Is academia too busy/arrogant/whatever not to cooperate? Is it not 
fair to ask the question?
