I don't think that's relevant. If a software has a feature usable in creative ways, and there are persons willing to exploit the software, they eventually will. Exploits and malware will be written due to human curiosity and greed. And then the exploit is out there and generated, and then it'll be used. Attackers of e.g. Norsk Hydro or Baltimore use the malware in an aggressive, targeted way. A botnet uses the malware in an aggressive, spray-and-pray way. Pentesters are another thing. However, if the malware hits the right thing, ugly things will happen. That's what I meant with "wild-west". Don't blame the gunsmith for bullets flying around. Build a solid wall to hide behind.
