Should be, maybe. The reality is that you can spend extra time making the program work, but if it works and you want to spend extra hours on it for whatever reason, it’s usually considered a waste of time.

Until they get hacked and it costs incredible amounts of money, that is.

Smart programmers do all the things they need to do before they get everything working. As soon as it works they get pushed to work on something else.

Security should be built in from the ground up. It’s not an afterthought. If you’re not doing that, you’re not doing it right. I get that there are time constraints but you should factor that in when giving your estimates.

Oh I agree. It’s just not always how it goes.
