Let the record show, every time somebody tries it’s out-competed by the
more responsive,
cleaner looking,
simpler,
easier to scale,
less error prone (and less annoying when it does error!),
horrible privacy stuff. The market really doesn’t care; consumers will pay 3 less dollars for an insecure product. It’s not even really their fault; it is extremely difficult to tell when software is actually secure. It is a pain to tell when some middle-man is actually selling your data or not, due to a carve-out in the TOS of a TOS of a TOS. Anyone upcharging for security could be scamming you, and with nontrivial probability is an NSA front.
This all applies to companies, which can afford to pay for security experts and analysts. See this very old interview with Schneier. Generic consumer never had a prayer.
