We have to solve the UX issues *and* we have to solve the fragile software issues. The resources to address the latter (e.g. kernel developers) aren't easily repurposed to tackle the former, and even if they were, where's your *proof* that that would be the right thing to do? Postulating a conspiracy theory isn't proof.

And FWIW, the "cloud provider megacorps" have a keen interest in improving security UI/UX just as much as preventing software exploitation. AWS lets me use my phishing-proof Yubikey for authentication, but my bank doesn't yet :-(.

This is a nonsensical distinction. One of the things those "cloud-provider megacorps" are doing is handling data that affects millions of "average people". That makes them an incredibly tempting target for hackers, because it means they can steal information wholesale instead of retail. I very much want those big companies to put serious effort into protecting their data.

hardening helps cloud-provider megacorps while the latter would help average people avoid get their passwords guessed/phished all around the world.
