All software has vulnerabilities but not all software has the egregious blunders that Travis Ormandy finds --- so many, in such a short period of time.
Furthermore, most software provides value that offsets security risks. Since the entire value of AV products is to improve security, when they fail to do that, they're worse than useless.
The homogeneous market argument is weak. If a determined attacker wants to compromise as many machines as possible with a single attack, they'll come up with an exploit that passes all AV products.
