I remember that being the norm as early as about 15 years ago.
Thus the reason behind the security mantra, "If it's not secure by default, then it's not secure".
Because normies know very little, if anything, about IT security. And to be fair, they shouldn't have to. When you buy a house or a car, how often do you take time to examine the mechanism in the door locks, and check to see how easy it is to pick them? Or do you rely on the locks generally being secure, albiet far from Fort Knox-grade.
