The problem here is that most people don't give a crap. I was explaining this situation to my girlfriend last night over a drink. She's a high level academic with a strong mathematical and logical background in a different field but she didn't really formulate an opinion on it past "if my stuff keeps working, why is it a problem?". Which is fair, because it's a hypothetical risk, but the side effects are a net negative and the open nature of the web is at risk.

As always people see the happy path down the middle of the forest, not the creatures waiting to leap out and eat them two steps down the line.

Sounds like a variant of the "nothing to hide" argument which, IMO, isn't particularly logical.

I don't think it's the same. It's more the assumption that stuff is going to keep working forever. A lot of us have been around long enough to see the change. Many haven't. Their first email address may have been a gmail.com one for example and they still have it. I mean a friend of mine still has a hotmail address from the late 1990s that works.
