half the internet is vulnerable because, frankly, we relied on an open source project from some guy working 2 jobs, 1 unpaid. of course it's got problems. who could do better? he's doing the best he can. why are we so bad at paying for the time of devs of critical dependencies?

This is the maintainer who fixed the vulnerability that's causing millions(++?) of dollars of damage. "I work on Log4j in my spare time" "always dreamed of working on open source full time" "3 sponsors are funding @rgoers's work: Michael, Glenn, Matt" People, what are we doing.

Why do people interact with decentralized smart contracts by visiting a centralized website served using normal web infrastructure with remotely loaded scripts, missing or inadequate CSP, and constantly-changing hard-to-audit code?

stories are the only way we actually assign meaning to things. explanation, instruction, opinion, observation-those can only answer "what", "how" or a proximate "why", never the root "why"
