> Top down regulation drives the systematic change, just like it did with the banking sector.
Banking is resourced well enough to absorb that regulation and stand up a compliance team. I bring up ATC because of the consequence. Default passwords are a symptom, not the failure mode.
ATC is already federal, with the FAA running that. 20 years of regulation has not fixed the problems that still plague that industry: outdated equipment, short-staffed, a small niche talent and training pipeline, and people dying as a consequence of those systemic problems. That's even closer to my point. Making something regulated doesn't change the inherent problems inside the industry.
