The most dangerous thing in computing is safety.

"Secure" is great. But when you hear "safe", that means there is some corp in the shadows predating on you because <insert boogeyman>. They decide what safe means, not you. They will abuse you to no end while keeping you "safe".

That's why companies always remove the features that keep you "secure" and give you ones to keep you "safe".
