The competence is required to maintain the basic OS. Computers are highly complicated things. I'd bet that sufficient machines get attacked via BT clients. I'm skeptical we'll get to the point where any appliance that is at least moderately complicated will reach the state where it won't have the occasional security issue to which the user must respond. We might get to a point where that's getting better, but I'm afraid we're still far far far out.

Torrent clients only perform a handful of tasks, a very limited profile for threats. Oldschool P2p (ie Kazza and bearshare-style sharing schemes) are a different story, although even they are rarely attacked successfully.
