If security is a key part of the product why is it left optional and up to the discretion of the (presumably non-technical) user?

I thought the purpose of vibecoding platforms like Lovable was to put guardrails in place and put non-technical people into the pit of success. But apparently not?

the purpose of Lovable is to increase signups, usage and other metrics that drive valuations. If security was a critical component the free usage tier is the ONE place you COULD force-apply these barriers without your customer having a valid complaint!
