Hi.

Why is Debian not setup to be secure be default?

Not everyone is a security expert so imho the system should be fully
secured out-of-the-box.

Please elaborate on what you consider to be the insecure parts of a default installation. Describe a process by which an etch system can be compromised remotely. Obviously, the ability to become root by tweaking the boot parameters from the grub screen does not count as a vulnerability.
