Because they promote themselves as tech-based companies, yet abdicated their professional duty to design secure systems because insecurity makes for easier monetization.
You would very much blame a car manufacturer when it turned out that all of its cars were keyed the same.
There is no such thing as a secure system, there is only conditional security. And what does unencrypted internal network traffic within a company have to do with monetization?
Pretty much all regular door locks on the majority of homes in the US are pickable. Have you installed an unpickable lock on your home?
