Perhaps the crux of the issue, and the reason these new systems get pushback, is because people, myself included, don't like being told that they have to stop using the tools that served them well for arbitrary reasons (usually age). Similarly, you can't expect everyone to trade user control, convenience, usability, and more for security, or sometimes perceived security.
