Why would you not want people trusting their data with SaaS apps? Smaller developers building software benefits users assuming their data is protected with basic security implemented.
>Why would you not want people trusting their data with SaaS apps?
Mainly because after years and years (and hundreds and hundreds) of data leaks & breaches... every single person would be significantly better off by defaulting to not blindly trusting companies & applications with their data.

That assumption is simply incorrect. As has been proven literally thousands of times now.
Ideally, apps would be built to purposefully reduce the amount of data collected to the greatest amount possible (and only hold data for the shortest amount of time possible). Rather than now, where they collect as much data as possible, hold on to it forever, and then inevitably leak it.
People shouldn't be benefiting from those assumptions, especially flawed assumptions positing basic competence and good faith.
Governments, agencies, organizations, and companies are dealing in personal, valuable information that they have no clue how to handle or secure, and we keep seeing massive leaks and breaches, incompetence, lack of care, apathy, and even outright malice.
You shouldn't be trusting your data with anyone, short of NASA, probably (and they won't be asking for it.)
