It sounds like you mean that stopping the vast numbers of lesser attackers other than Mossad is so much less important that its worth ignoring.
Most people's day to day experience of vulnerabilities is someone getting access to their password or (for the techies) their private server. Stupid actions aside (like leaving a database open to the internet), it'd be nice if things like heartbleed weren't so prolific.
Perhaps when we're living in a dystopian facist state we will wish we started out by fixing the hardware vulns, but until then it'd be nice if, for example, a person who has setup ssl correctly can assume it won't leak data all over the place.
