Yeah. At the risk of digging at a raw wound and trivializing a recent tragedy, this is kind of like saying "We can't expect structural engineers to develop a fundamentally-safe construction plan right from the get-go."
If you're going to do something at all, there are some fundamental standards that you just don't risk by putting them off for later. Not saying you have to start out with all the frills, but there is a minimum acceptable standard of safety and competency that can and should be expected of any new work, and things that don't meet such standards should never exist in a form that could potentially be misconstrued as doing so. Reasonable baseline security practices are certainly part of those inviolable professional standards.
