I very often want to say "yes, actually, that thing you accept as a default in your life is actually borne out of insecurity and fragility", while *also* wanting to convey "insecurity/fragility is absolutely okay; often tolerating it in ourselves is necessary for enjoying life"

this mostly comes up when I want to discuss how actually this 'default frame' is truly borne out of insecurity - but it's hard to do that without implying also that the insecurity is bad and you should get rid of it. Like, yes, but get rid of it only if you have room to do so.

I feel like a ton of the time when people make fun of insecurity it is in fact an insecure situation and there's nothing to be done

Yes! I sort of feel this way about monogamy. A lot of people are monogamous cause it's the only way to keep their partner from leaving them for someone they like better - it's a legitimately insecure situation and it makes sense to feel insecure about it.
