To be honest, I think it would be best for people to go back to mostly making purchases at brick and mortars, so I wouldn't say I take it personally if people decided not to buy something online. But it does genuinely bother me when people cast aspersions on basic security measures, because when those measures are lacking, many people get badly harmed.
You honestly think individual citizens should be making a conscious effort to give companies positive reinforcement to convince them to keep their customer's data secure?
It's not about convincing companies to keep data secure; it's about the fact that passwords are one of the ways to keep data secure, period. When a bank teller asks to see your ID before allowing you to withdraw from your account, is it "giving them positive reinforcement to convince them to keep your account secure" if you comply? Passwords, passkeys, PINs, etc are similar to IDs. They're a way to make sure that you are you, and to create an extra barrier between a bad actor and your information.
