A core problem is that the concept of a website has changed so dramatically. Rarely is - A - website - A - place, or the site owner -THE - provider of code and content; or the sole, or even primary, consumer of data extracted from the visitor. Don't leave out the parts played by (and motivations of), browser vendors or the web-search providers.
Together, these factors contribute to a diffusion of responsibility for what happens to a "site" visitor - in terms of security, privacy and experience. The result is that nobody accepts responsibility.
Is what we have really what we want? We'll have to look closely at the interplay of motivations that brought us to this situation; and then look at how we might rework the site-visitor-browser paradigm.
