Frankly I think this says something about the security of modern OS's that two of the most recent exploits have been hardware based.

The Meltdown/Spectre issues happen to be broad-based and heavily publicized, I don't think you can draw any more general conclusions from them. In general, as long as human beings are designing and implementing information processing systems, there will be bugs. Once AI systems are building them, there will also be bugs, but no human being will be able to understand them.
