2fa doesn't help if the service you're using gets its password database leaked
Disk encryption doesn't help if your OS rats you out
The problem is less whether individuals follow "security best practices" and more whether corpos can be trusted one iota (spoiler warning they cannot)

Last boost is in honor of my medical provider turning on mandatory 2fa. If they weren't a monopoly in my area, I'd switch providers.
