You might be right, but I don't think that's a problem they're going to solve all on their own, meanwhile the rest of users will suffer.

So, instead, they should cater to an industry that has long been a known vector for malware, abuse, and PII theft?

that is the only current accepted alternative to paying for website access, yes

if you have better ideas though, we'd all love to hear them

Maybe if people/browser makers didn't bend over to this nonsense, the websites would figure it out. You know, the people who's problem that is (because yes, if you run a website and want to make money off it, that's your problem to fix not mine, and it's certainly not my job to cater to it).
