I agree that Spectre is somewhat overblown. It's something that we should be working on mitigating, to be sure, but it is very difficult to exploit. Memory safety issues, in practice, are significantly easier to find, so that's what attackers go for. We're not in a "drop everything, all hands on deck" situation.
