What are you basing this unearned confidence on? We've seen this same pattern repeat thousands of times:
1. This might be a vulnerability in theory but there's no POC
2. Well it's just a POC, no one has actually weaponized this.
3. Sure someone weaponized this but it is very difficult to pull off.
4. Oh the script-kiddie toolkits can build exploits for this automatically. Who could have seen it coming?!?
(Step #2 is probably where the various governmental spying agencies start deploying the exploit in targeted ways)
Perhaps this time things are different but it seems unlikely.
