I feel like this goes too deep. Or maybe it hits on the right reason, but the wrong cause. The defender’s job isn’t defense. Cyber security isn’t a sportsball game where there are clear even goals and objectives with alternating positions. It’s a side show, and a distraction from the main business of whatever else the defenders are trying to do. By contrast, an attacker’s entire job is to attack the system. There is no other purpose they are serving, no secondary masters or considerations that need to be used to weaken their attacks.
Attackers win for the same reason that Microsoft is better at publishing operating systems than Cisco, because ciscos operating systems are a means to an end. Microsoft’s are the end
