I am aware of the usual (and strong in my opinion) argument.
Every time this discussion does the rounds, though, I do wonder whether the hypothesis could be tested.
Most vulnerabilities do not come from breaking the core algorithm but rather from a flaw in how they are implemented or applied. Standardisation can lead to monocultures that become tempting targets for those with plenty of resources to throw at them.
