From a security perspective a lot of changes to this world would be an upgrade. However implementing security features is always a trade off, and sometimes good security is just not worth the loss of other things.
My favourite phenomenon is when (computer) security gets in the way of (actual) security.
For example, you implement a super secure solution and no one hacks your website, but you end up being very unproductive and can't find a job. You lost food security.
In covid, bank systems in my country were so hard to use, there were like 6 passwords to login. Not only was usability compromised in the sense of security, but people, especially old people, started lining up in banks, compromising health security.
To say nothing of the scenarios were users just bypass obnoxious exaggerated security systems, like leaving a post-it note with a password on their screens.
