How come companies don't care about encrypting their users' data in their databases?

It's been possible for a very long time now.

Yet, companies keep leaking. And people keep sleeping.

Why would that have helped? The endpoint was exposing the data, not the database. The endpoint would have simply decrypted.

encryption of data at rest is for hard drives that walk off, not for access.
