I guess world will essentially loop back into "thin-client" model as the connections are getting faster and lower latency than ever.
Things have been going this direction as long as "the cloud" has been a phrase.
Endpoint management is a pain for a lot of reasons other than ransomware, there's a lot that is solved in an enterprise by making your endpoints dumb and controlling your production environment centrally.

I really don't know how to fix this situation. In fact, it seems to be deteriorating very fast.

Sure,and indeed the goal is to have better security, not prefect security. If you look for the perfect solution, you will never find it.

That was not my experience at the last employer. We had some incredibly talented security architects, engineers and developers. The issue we ran into was that some of the early hires were a bit over-zealous and created a layer of fear in management that the security teams would induce too much friction, some that was indeed needed. The result was the head of software development put a development manager in charge of the entire security org. Their standing order was to never say "no" and never get in the way. It's still a more secure company than most but it's a constant battle with management and leads to burnout and that is one of the many reasons myself and many others retired early. Most other reasons for me were unrelated to the company.

A better solution is to demand better from software companies. People deal with so much Microsoft ux/quality abuse on this planet like it’s how its supposed to be it’s astonishing. And quality elsewhere isn’t increasing, certainly.
