Blizzard is really starting to rustle my jimmies.

The thing can't cost more than a dollar or so mass produced, so it realistically would have been better from a customer satisfaction/ security standpoint.
Then it is simply a matter of whether or not the user chooses to add it to the account or not.
Just my .02 cents.

Shoot me a pm in game (CalmStorm#1326) saying something like "overclock me some loot" so I know you're an OCNer and i'll accept when there's 3 people or 1/2 and nobody else pms me within like 15 mins.

Let's be very up front about that.
These weren't brute-forced accounts...These were idiots that tried to cheat and were then, compromised.
It's because of those idiots that we were then forced to authenticate.
In no way/shape/form/function is that a predictable dynamic or, even a predictable outcome before the game had released.
Right now, the authenticators exist at COST...Actually, Blizzard loses money on every key-chain.
For E-Peen, if he'd like to participate in the current idiocy that is the RMAH (We can charge 250$ so now we're going to charge 250m on the gold AH HA HA HA HA) then he can buy an authenticator.
You don't NEED the RMAH or the AH to be successful in this game.
In truth, this is a situation that "WE" as the Diablo 3 community, created and you couldn't have predicted this, a month ago or two months ago...
