Suppose we all did read the docs. How possible is it with the complexity of a modern system to really take literally everything in account, and understand the implications oof everything to keep your system safe? It's great that it's documented, but if security isn't the default option, it will lead to issues, and everything has become so complex, that imo correctly managing everything is literally impossible... This is a systemic issue, not a user issue.
