> Shouldn't people demand more and more privacy protections?

Yes!

> It's not like these changes solve the problem.

Perhaps because it is impossible to 100% solve the problem?

A lot of people, me included, are just tired of the endless litany of "50% secure is not secure! 75% secure is not secure! 90% secure is not secure! 99% secure is not secure! 99.9% secure is not secure! 99.999% secure is not secure!"

There is no 100%. Hearing the same level of outrage over a 0.001% gap that we heard over a 50% gap is just fatiguing.

Especially in this audience, everyone knows there is no such thing as verifiable perfect security. Asymptotic progress towards that is interesting; decrying the latest improvement as no better than no security at all just feels... IDK, lazy.
