My comment may have been facile and poorly-argued, sure, but if consumer devices are being sold that can be remotely exploited without user interaction during something as commonplace as rendering images.. surely it's worth considering the potential for structural improvements in industry?
Perhaps the associated billions of dollars of spending is indeed the answer, and will translate into measurable improvements. If so, very well.
Perhaps there are Conway-style architectural issues at hand here as well, though. Can disparate teams working on (a large number of) proprietary interconnected products and features reliably produce secure results?
It seems wasteful that similarly-functioning tools -- like messaging apps -- are continuously built and rebuilt and yet the same old issues (generally exacerbated by increasing web scale) mysteriously re-appear time and again.
