So the argument is that those buffer overflows in iMessage used to target people (i.e. https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2021/12/a-deep-dive-i... used to target a Saudi activist) are actually good because a hacker might jailbreak a phone with it?

It's good if all my software on linux crashes with segfaults because it might let someone unlock a locked down linux device one day?

I don't feel particularly free if my device is pwned with ransomware
