It would be a kinder world if ignorance wasn't exploited / punished.

But, yeah. It's not like malware in movies was the first time that ignorance would be very much the opposite of bliss. Plenty of berries that will give you a bad time if you ignorantly eat them; and some plants (and animals) even use mimicry take advantage of the lack of observation or knowledge.

"deserve" might not be the way I'd put it, but you execute enough movies and bad things will happen to you.
