People don't like to make sacrifices today to avoid a potential disaster tomorrow. Especially when that disaster is only theoretical. (See the climate crisis.)
At work I've started taking an 'I told you so' photo of problems on the day they are identified so I can bring it up at 6 months later when it finally fails. Would recommend.
