With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

As someone pursuing a career in health care I became more and more concerned because some store patient files and notes in unsecured text files/apps like notion, google docs and even excel.

This is just the beginning - the medical space is notoriously awful and also a place where you probably really care about privacy. But using secure alternatives is too annoying for most medical staff and they just see it as ankther hurdle. Actually getting people to use secure software that's not the software they're already used to is way harder than it should be.

People just don't understand or don't care. Convenience is way more important to people than anything else.
