Its not that they are two conflicting forces. Security and Accessibility are opposing forces, not ease of use. As we increase security, we need to give up a certain level of accessibility to gain that security, but there is absolutely no reason, that setting up that security can't be easier.

Here's the real crux, security is not sexy to the general populace, it's a matter of need, but it's implementation is largely done by people with knowledge. Look at something as common as TLS and the now defunct SSL. To a general user, this just "works", but have you actually ever setup a CA and pushed that out to more than 1 or systems? It's an effort.

You can't ask a person (even a "Power User") to just setup security, but there is no reason that we couldn't give a user a package that sets up a certain level of security and accessibility that was point an click. It's a matter of time, cost, price, and marketability for the general populace.

If VPN's were cool to use, like running your iPhone or Android, things would be different.
