You keep making moral judgements.  Reality is, if you live in a world with arsonists, you need to have a building that won't catch on fire, or has fire extinguishers in place.  Do not depend on arsonists ignoring you forever as your security model.  Penetration testing to know what weaknesses exist, what limitations exist, and what can be improved is essential.  Keeping your head in the sand and hoping people choose to do the right thing only ends one way.

If there's a risk of fire burning down wooden buildings, pass out fire
extinguishers and smoke detectors, not matches.

The latter makes one an arsonist.
