They are certainly boiling the frog slowly.

And for most users that security warning is as good as a cryptographic lockdown anyways.

On the other hand, I find it ironic how a lot of "security professionals" will complain constantly about users accepting security warnings with no thought anyway (and they usually use this argument to justify their increasingly authoritarian measures of controlling them.)



It can be simultaneously true that a warning can be a barrier to adoption of your software product versus a competitor, and that a warning is not an effective barrier for a user who thinks they're installing an unreleased video game or going to receive millions of dollars of crypto from foreign royalty.
