Some sympathy for the devil: operating systems are just so…big.

Like, there’s an arbitrary code execution issue fixed here in ColorSync. ColorSync! Who thinks to attack the color management system, and then how do you set up your org structure to protect from attacks on that? Because…assuming they have much of a team on it at all, as it’s probably a bit of a solved problem…your core team is probably going to be focused on color, and not buffer overflows.

macOS has a lot of old components now, and just getting a grasp of where you could possibly have security issues must be nigh impossible.
