If you are doubting that this is one of the most frequently occurring security issues, I urge to search the web about it. It’s very easy to verify my claim.

It is one of the most well known, but it also is easy to miss, evidently from how often it happens despite it being very well known.
It’s very easy to fix once it’s known, but it is easy to go unnoticed.
Unless you somehow think that most app developers are incompetent, in which case I ask again: show me your better version.
It’s convenient to completely discredit a large piece of software taking years to develop as “insane” because they made a mistake (one of the most common security mistakes in the software world) when you don’t recognize the difficulty and wouldn’t be able to make something 10% as big.
And frankly it sounds silly.
Mistakes happen. This is one of the most common vulnerabilities in the software world. Again, it’s easy to say it’s insane when you aren’t the one making it. I don’t see you making anything half as good and without mistakes.
Constructive criticism is okay, but this isn’t it. Sounds very entitled.
