True, but given the choice between security and convenience a lot of people (including developers) will choose convenience. I get your frustration, but that's just how our species is (although genetic engineering may change that some day) and unless you can come up with a way that's both (reasonably) secure and at least as convenient as the insecure alternative there will be enough people around to popularize the insecure methods.
That's just my pessimistic pov, though^^
