Ring was hacked because the victims used the same password across multiple websites and those other websites had data breaches.

You can't really do anything about this, no matter how great your security is.

I suppose Ring could enforce 2FA across the entire platform, but many people wouldn't accept this and they would lose customers.

I use a password manager and don't reuse any password for any site and have 2FA enabled on all of my important accounts. The problem is that most people don't want to be inconvenienced.
