Yes, you're correct. To add - companies don't fundamentally care about all the things that we like to think of as "nice things", like good design, lack of dark patterns, robust security architecture, minimizing technical debt, etc.

If customers cared about reputational damage from cybersecurity incidents (sure.. some do) , then you would see that reflected in their priorities. Also, non-technical customers don't really know who to blame for security anyway. They'll just blame the OS vendor or other random parties even if its the Application that is not secure.

reputational damage

Ah but the thing is that every company sucks so there is nowhere for customers to flee to.
