Technology can make lives safer. However, software is never secure, cannot be made secure, this is empirically proven to be a 100% valid position.

In as software is not secure, and can not be made secure, using it for important records storage makes zero sense, unless you a) have full backups offline in physical, non-digital, read only medium or b) just don't do it online, at all.

And my point is, it's not worth the convenience.

But physical records also cannot be made secure. And the convenience is gigantic. I think that it is worth it, as clearly does much of the world.
