I'd agree. The problem is there is no financial or regulatory incentive to do the right thing here.

It has zero immediate impact on their bottom line to have things work in the current fashion, and the longer term damage to their reputation etc. is much harder to quantify.

There's no incentive for them to fix this, so why would they?
