An excellent framing I saw recently was "I can tell the people who write these articles don't actually want secure code, because they aren't paying me to write it."

There's plenty of carefully-written, rigorously-tested code out there. Want to write software for air travel, drug manufacturing, or space flight? You'll have no choice but to write safe, first-rate code.

Want a smartphone weather app written to those standards? Well, for $50 and a feature set five years behind the state of the art, you can have it.
