You are right, if you look at cloud solely as a new technology.
And as with any new technology, security won't be a real priority until
the basics aren't straightened out.

But cloud is also a business model (as in 'public cloud'), where
the model of relationships and incentives is wildly different to what we
were accustomed to.
And this model does not help to have watertight security.
