At some point you have to wonder how privacy and security wasnt a factor at all in the minds of engineers designing these systems- it has to be intentional, right? Did no one stop to consider how the system theyre building could be abused against the general public? Did they just not care?

Those systems were designed with security in mind for the environment and threat model of that time. It is why these types of things are grandfathered or improved upon to mitigate the latest scenarios and threat actors. The difference is that they probably couldn't foresee that it would remain the foundation for so long, and what todays world would look like.
