The short answer is that if you build an x86 box based on crappy linux and updates then your security is based, fundamentally on the primitives which secure eveything else in the world. It doesn't mean that it's the best. An x86/x64 ssh bug hurts everyone. But it means that everyone in the world gets fucked, more or less, and you don't have to worry as much. Relying on random companies to secure your gateway puts you in the hands of random companies who not only do not care but also do not make theor own stuff and now lack the basic competence to do so.
