You didn't make an argument, you just said people will ignore the rules. And those people should be fired. The reducto ab absurdum of your argument is that we shouldn't have any laws against murder as there will be murderers. And that we don't need knowledgeable and skilled surgeons as it's easier to be ignorant and unskilled.
The reality is that in certain environments, good security craft is as much of the job as good software development skills -- and I'm not saying writing secure software, to help clarify for some readers. The developers need to be experienced and aware of the appropriate security measures and be willing to implement them in their day to day actions. If they aren't, either experienced or willing, then they are unqualified regardless of how good they might be at developing software or hardware. It's a like washing your hands after going to the bathroom (not doing which is also a perfectly good reason to be fired.)
Propping a door open can lead to tens of thousands of dollars in losses at the low end, say from a simple equipment burglary to total failure of the company from trade secret loss. If someone feels that their need for convenience the greater issue, then that person has a fucked up sense of priorities that makes them unqualified to work in that environment. That's just a basic fact. E.g. if you can't be bothered to wash your hands before cutting someone's head open, you're not qualified regardless of how steady your hands are.
