Sending these through messaging apps is appealing because that usually requires zero user action - you just send a message and the device runs the exploit as it generates preview thumbnails.

But browser exploits require the user to visit an infected website, which is much tougher. If I recieve an email or sms with "visit applesupport.info" I'm not going to click it.
