16. It's more short term thinking

Because in the end, they are going to pay via loss of public trust/business and higher insurance rates going forward.

That said, to me it's similar to how a company like Target got hacked because they didn't properly segment their networks so the same login for an HVAC system also gave access to their point of sale systems and they lost 40 million customer financial information. Target paid 18.5 million to settle with 47 states and DC for not doing basic network security work, maybe because it would have taken time/money, maybe because the executives didn't see the value. I'm sure their IT security team understood because I did and I'm not in the IT security world. Until companies have to start paying substantial fines and c suite executives start going to jail, it's just the cost of business. Many of those people might have been saved, but because it's unlikely to result in real cost to the people who made the decision, it wasn't a priority.
