> I get convenience has led everyone to expect their phone to do everything for them, but it's not working.

It's mostly working, though. For every story of someone experencing a severe problem, there are millions of non-stories of people not experiencing the problem.

Inconveniencing yourself every day just to avoid the rare situation is not necessarily a great life strategy. Furthermore, most consumers are not as aware of these problem cases as we are. They don't expect the worst until it's too late.

Admittedly, failing to back up is just dumb, and everyone should know that by now. On the other hand, nobody should be expecting that a software update will kill their passcode.
