It's a perspective difference.

Each individual user perspective: "It is possible I can shoot myself in the foot, and also possible I will not. It is not correct to say I will shoot myself in the foot.".

Outside observer perspective: "Empirically, many users shoot themselves in the foot using this system. It is correct to say this system does not make feet safe".

It might be phrased better in terms of safety than security? The safety of the system is left up to the users, and is - to the best of our knowledge - not safe to use _as is_ by most people.
