There are many things most likely to consider whenever you're investing money in crypto..
These are:
1. Volatility of the Market.
2. They don't have the knowledge about crypto.
3. Negative news that they see or hear in social media/TV Media.
4. They were scammed and afraid to invest again.
5. Threats of hackers in the internet.
But users can also protect their computer from hackers by using:
1. Virtual Private Network for Internet Protocol
2. MetaMask Wallet
3. Not saving any private keys in your PC.
basically for new investors the doubt is always there, and this also happens to real investment. this is where knowledge and experience are always involved
as you say, everything you describe I fully agree
