When a system involves a human it's harder to massively infiltrate it. Take counting votes. A bad human here or there could fudge the tally of pen on paapper ballots. BUT if you attempted to compromise a large percentage of these human ballot counters, one of the other human counters would start to notice and alert the world to it.

Compromising a system that involves 100k people is generally harder than compromising a computer algo.
