i agree that we need to hold massive corporations to a higher standard, but security is incredibly difficult. this comment is more directed at all of the comments who are dismissive of how difficult good security is.

even some of the sharpest security/privacy minds on the planet, who work for organizations who exist purely to make secure software or hardware stumble often.

now add in that we actually expect our devices to also be usable, and yes, security is very very _very_ difficult.

if someone hasn’t learned by now that every device will eventually be cracked, we should question their ability to reason.

now again, we should absolutely expect more from apple/google/$company than we do, but we also can’t hand-wave away that security is very hard.

I mean, Google does a far better job than Apple responding to reported vulnerabilities, pays a team to find vulnerabilies, has extensive fuzzing infrastructure, etc. Even among its peers Apple stands out as particularly bad.
