It also means security is not held as high and vulnerabilities not as much found. A simple 0-day may survive for years. Not much effort needed to have permanent access.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this, can you elaborate pls?
Its easier for an LLM to find vulnerabilities in a project with less usage, and those vulnerabilities will stay open longer, making them much cheaper to attack to keep the door open.
What's the point of attacking projects that almost nobody uses?
Do you think Netanyahu, Trump or Xi-Jinping are somehow secretly using Cosmic DE at home, to be worthy targets?
Bad actors have limited time, lives of their own and mouths to feed as well, so they concentrate their efforts where "the fish are" if they want to PWN someone for profit.
That's why Windows was the biggest target in the past for so long and why MacOS and Linux were ignored. Because most of the fish were on Windows.
