Meh. It’s up to Apple to write secure software in the first place. Maybe if they spent more time on that instead of fucking over their UI in the name of something different, and less time virtue signalling, their shit would be more secure.

Yes because other operating systems never have a decade old vulnerability?

And yes because their UI folks should be spending time on the kernel. What next? If Apple didn’t have so many people working at the Genius Bar they could use some of those people to fix security vulnerabilities?

Is it not up to you to not write software that leads to people being killed?

I totally agree, and it's basically theft that Apple simply doesn't have a standing offer to outbid anyone else for a security hole.

That said, we all get the same time on this earth. Spending your time helping various governments hurt or kill people fighting for democracy or similar is... a choice.
