Maybe that's the case, but it seems like this conclusion is based on the current architecture of the internet. Maybe there are ways of changing it that mean these issues are not a thing!

It's not an architectural problem. It's a fundamental issue with trust and distributed systems. The same issues occur in physical spaces, like highways.
The core issue is that hackers can steal the "identity" of internet customers at scale, not that the internet allows unauthenticated traffic.
