This is not at all what I wrote. I wrote that with proprietary drivers, you're always at the risk of being vulnerable with no recourse.

Right...and I wrote that's not really an issue as time goes on as drivers stabilize.
Never heard anything about "driver stabilization" before, and couldn't find anything confirming that it exists. In my understanding, the longer some piece of software is used, the higher the probability that a vulnerability can be found.
I can imagine that after a really long time, most vulnerabilities might be found, but I don't believe I will live long enough to see that for relevant drivers.

I don't know that it's a known phrase, I find it odd you searched for it as I would have thought the meaning would have been obvious. Bugs are found generally within the developer mandated lifespan of the device, more bugs are found closer to release with less being found over time.
There might still be vulnerabilities, but that would be just as true for open source ones, because in both cases no one is really looking for them.
Can you find any unpatched vulnerabilities for any of the OnePlus devices that PMOS runs on? I doubt it. They may exist, but they may exist i your Librem also.
