I like to think of a law of conservation of productivity.
Before: yours 100%, hacker's 0%.
After: yours 0%, hacker's 100%.
Nonsense, of course. Hacker's boost is nearer 100,000%.
Fact is, modern computer power is inherently far more productive for bad than good. And the economic incentive follows.
Ah yes, you found the perfect argument to give sec people full and uncontrolled reign.
Not is it probable that people will take over our system. But is it possible.
