I was with you until you started talking about the "invisible hand of the free market" failing and how instead we should be using State force to solve these problems. Isn't your comment a free market action, raising awareness about this problem? Won't this thread cause DO to take action? Say it doesn't. There are plenty of other hosting companies to switch to. And also there are times when I might be willing to trade security for convenience, price, practicality, etc. As a consumer, I want this choice. I think the free market is working fine. You can't bully your way to good security.
