Since this seems to be a big topic right now, Ill give my broad opinion as someone who doesn't play security :
I don't (well, didn't, i dont play much ss13 anymore) play sec that much if ever based on the idea that it would mean I'd be the first line of defense when shit starts going down on the station. As someone who isn't legendarily robust, knowing that'd be the case turned me off from the idea, even though it'd probably help me practice, yknow, not being bad at combat. The idea that I'd also be the second biggest harassment target to fart on and steal from next to the clown (again due to relatively poor fighting ability) cemented the feeling for me.
I doubt I'm the best or most average sample of the community since I preferred RP1 and stopped playing when it conclusively died, but at least it's a perspective?
