I'd say part of the problem with sec is that there's not many options for them. They have a ton of tools, but all those tools are specialized for beating up other players. This means that they don't have all that much gimmick potential outside of oppressing people by being jerks, and they get a ton of scrutiny from literally everyone. Sec are a popular target for antags for a variety of reasons, the crew will murder them without a second thought if they're even slightly obnoxious or suspicious, and the only gimmick they have that can't be done better by some other job is "write unfunny tickets and throw them at people". They also require a relatively high degree of mechanical skill for what they bring to the table, with many of their tools having some built-in way to backfire on a careless player.
I'd definitely agree that the proper solution to security is to make them more fun to play rather than handing out rewards, though.
