   The only facts we need to know are two undeniably salient facts, JR.   
      
   1. Apple touts that their ecosystem provides safety & security.   
   2. Yet Apple apparently has never even tested whether that claim is true.   
      
   In fact, it's obvious that Apple didn't even know how vulnerable their   
   ecosystem was for millions of mac/iOS apps for an entire decade, JR!   
      
   With that in mind, your excuse is that Apple is incompetent at testing?   
      
   HINT: If security researchers can find this flaw, why then can't Apple?
