Mmh, misunderstood my criticism: I expressed a concern towards the fact that some problems are being handled seriously 
and with a lot of effort (e.g. Eros/Coyote and secure operating systems), others not so much and I asked "why?".

Why not academia?  There is plenty of development in operating systems, HCI, etc. which comes straight out of academia 
into the commercial world often funded by the very companies which then use the research commercially.  Are security 
companies/~academic researchers too busy/arrogant/whatever not to cooperate? Is academia too busy/arrogant/whatever not 
to cooperate? Is it not fair to ask the question?
