Good security, the stuff that actually stops you from getting hacked, shouldn’t be considered wasteful. And eliminating good security shouldn’t be considered an improvement in efficiency.

Ideally we should use the word “waste” to narrowly point at activities that are entirely pointless. Like requiring password rotation every 7 days.

There is no incentive to do so when the shareholders are only interested in the next quarterly earnings report.
