I'm a big fan of harm reduction. Passkeys are *better* than passwords. Nuclear power is *better* than coal or LNG. Vaping is *better* (maybe?) than smoking.
Harm reduction isn't perfect. It's often not even good enough. But it's better then the status quo, and that's important.
Yes, moral hazard and risk homeostasis exist. We should always work toward improving things; adopting a better solution isn't an excuse for complacency.
But better is still better. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Incremental improvement is real improvement. Embrace it!
