No, it just means that it's better to design chips and software architectures with security in mind from day one. If you don't, then every single patch you add afterwards will bloat-up the whole system and the (software) performance will drop overtime. It's just another way to say you're building technical debt into your chip/software if you don't consider security from day one. Because sooner or later you will need that security, if you have tens of millions or more people using that product. So it's not like you can just ignore it. You're just postponing it for later.
