It's weird that when it comes to security companies are like "we got too many important things to be doing, like adding this quarters new shiny feature, we don't have time to encrypt user data".

You would think that when it comes to adding obscure tracking codes companies would be like "we don't care what people print, it's not our problem, we aren't going to bother with tracking watermarks". But, no, every company has tracking watermarks while cutting every other corner possible.

I mean, half the companies out there are barely able to get their software to work, meanwhile printer companies have this robust watermark system that never fails. I don't understand these priorities.

Where's my tinfoil hat?

Well for starters. Consumers in general have very little rights in the United States.

Meanwhile you don't wanna fuck with either the Secret Service, The IRS, or the Federal Reserve.
