we expect the owner of the other computer to be very competent

Why? If nothing else we have learned in the past 20 years that large operators are the ones MOST likely to get data leaked or stolen, literally every major platform has had at least one major cockup in that time. They are all motivated by profits first and security maybe third or lower.

We expect people running an automotive repair facility to be competent with vehicle repair

Why? 🥴🥴🥴

It's the state of the industry.

And I know several automotive repair facilities that so incompetent it must be malicious.

A car repair place loses business if they don't competently repair your car. That's apparently not true for large tech companies for whatever reason.

So if your car repair place sucks at fixing your car, you should find a better one or do it yourself. If your tech service sucks at protecting your data, you should find a better one or do it yourself.

It’s not even a definite cockup, because being a large data provider means you are constantly under attack by intelligent, knowledgeable people intent on getting in. It’s surprising that it doesn’t happen far more often.

The real problem is that all this is being stored in the first place.
