I must be Dr Contrary tonight but this strikes me as bullshit.

SSH is more convenient that telnet. Passkeys are more convenient than passwords. TouchID and FaceID are more convenient than passwords.

In general, security is an afterthought that is inconvenient to developers to add back. But in the digital world I haven’t seen many examples of security being less convenient than the alternative.

(I am writing this from an airport and definitely do not assert that this applies to the built environment.)
