I think you lack imagination. Right now computer security may not seem like an essential scenario but consider a few of these cases:

1. Self driving cars getting hacked (and killing passengers?) 2. Stock market being hacked or retirement accounts getting hacked and losing data (we don't know how much money you had) 3. Election fraud

We're building a public infrastructure that is highly susceptible to security threats, meanwhile governments around the world only intensify their capacity to do inhumane things to this infrastructure (rather than building up the defenses).
