That's all great and dandy for you and the few people inside your circle of influence but there's a bajillion people on the internet, using all kinds of devices, for whom this is impractical to impossible.

Even getting this kind of attack mitigated in one of the major browsers makes this a much less appealing thing to try and exploit and raises awareness of the problems potentially improving everyone's security.

Putting this kind of responsibility on others makes you part of the problem, instead you could help in being the solution. That's not to say webmaster shouldn't be doing a better job at this, but sometimes their abilities are limited. I'm surprised that anyone would be willing to then as a consequence let this be inflicted on others if they had the ability to do something substantial about it.
