That's a fine point, but if you were that consumer shopping to implement a prefab site, wouldn't you like to know if the technical foundations are sound? If 1000 GoDaddy sites are hacked in a day maybe that prompts a response from the host.
Some of these sites are likely entrusted with sensitive user information. The car analogy is only apt if you borrowed $100 from a couple of your closest friends for rent and left that in the car you forgot to lock while you were getting a taco.
As I see it, the benefit of this type of public shaming is it reinforces in end users the idea that you should be careful who you trust with your data. For admins, if the majority of listed sites use web technology "x", maybe if you're designing a new site you look for an alternative.

No single or combined biometric is secure. If you want to verify identity you must have at the least, a second factor like a password.
