It's revealing how fantastically ignorant these apologists like Wilf are.

Apologists think it's a "good thing" Apple has more exploited zero-day
holes than any other operating system in common use on the planet.

Nobody adds zero-day holes at the consistent huge rate that Apple does.
It used to be only once per month - now it's almost two per month this year!

Do these apologists have any idea that Apple doesn't ever find these holes?

"This attack surface is highly interesting because it's accessible from the
app sandbox (so it's great for jailbreaks) and many other processes, making
it a good candidate for LPEs exploits in chains (WebContent, etc.)."

Since you can't actually know that's true...

....since you purposely avoid even trying to find out...

....you're just a liar.
