It solves the problem of not requiring a full turing machine with a giant API that has a history of actual exploits and not just FUD behind it.

i believe XSLT is touring complete, and regarding exploits, you rather want to read this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44910050

it turns out that because XSLT was largely ignored, it is full of security issues, some of which have been in there for decades.

so the reason XSLT doesn't have a history of exploits is because nobody used it.
