Liability might provide an answer.

Think about it. When vendors, solution providers, service providers, consultants, advisors, teachers, decision makers, etc etc would have more liability then the risk of not doing things securely right from the start would be a higher risk then not doing things securely.

That could in turn stop advisors from advising unsecure things. Stop implementors from implementing unsecure things. Stop providers from providing unsecure things. Stop decision makers from deciding for unsecure things. Stop teachers from teaching unsecure things. And as a result stop vendors from producing unsecure things.

Geez. If everyone was advised to carry loaded guns. And everyone was teached to use loaded arms for, say, securing your way of life. And everyone was provided loaded guns then pretty soon everybody would walk around with loaded guns. Next thing you know people start complaining how unsafe the streets are and anyone can get gunned down while minding their own business. Well duh.
If you didn't see that one coming then maybe now you understand why I need to drive around in a tank these days. Makes for easy parking though.

What wouldn't work would be to give, say, the police more powers. Simply too many guns that are too easy to get and too few policemen out there to deal with the problem at hand. Ask the US.
