> Short of rewriting the whole of iOS in a memory safe language I'm not sure how they could even solve this problem. Assigning a researcher to search for 6 months only to find one bug is financially prohibitive.
Note that memory safe languages won't solve security. They only eliminate a class of security bugs, which would be amazing progress, but not all of them.
The OP sounds like it was a memory-safety bug, so this is a bit pedantic.
