- chosen simplicity of installation and setup (partly, but of course not exclusively, driven by the desire to reduce support costs) over security. Over the years this has led to using easy to guess default passwords, same wifi default passwords on all devices etc.
Not in this decade. Both of those statements are provably false for several generations already.
