Most people care about price over any other variable.

most people (at least, in western countries) don't pour over the ingredients, or sus out the manufacturing process to see if their food products have poisons in them, or whether they are fit for eating. It's mandated by law.

I would like to see security have such measures mandated by law, so that it frees the average joe from having to worry about it. Because face it, the average person can't worry about it - it's an expert field.

Mandating something like FIPS for everything would impair startups quite badly. For the moment I'm quite happy to not have regulations on the development process or content of software.
