And I'm not sure there is a lot of money behind tech like this. Most of the money is made from the abuses that software like Graphene is attempting to stop. I think it's a self-fulfilling hell that is hard to escape. It takes forever for meaningful change to happen when relatively little funding goes into change. It doesn't help that most people are unwilling to pay for software. It's a tough cycle because you need good, easy software to attract buyers, but you need buyers to fund good, easy software. I won't pretend to have a quick and easy answer. I've just decided that I'd rather deal with the annoyances vs the abuses (as of now). It could be that a mixed approach is something you'd benefit from. I don't think it has to be all or nothing. I think that's where a lot of people get hung up.
