Say there's a minor error in a network driver. Yes, it might be exploitable by a smart person. But the error only triggers once a day when a counter rolls over.
Do you really want your box to lock up and panic when this error is encountered, or do you just want your box to keep working.
I'm firmly in the first camp (I'll take lock up and freeze thanks) but 99% of users don't care about a bug like that and just want the box to keep working.
