This is really incredible. Enough motivation and unaudited C code can get one really far on building console exploits.
That said, I wonder about a hypothetical world decades from now where new game technology uses safer languages like Rust instead of C primarily. The gain in stability would be offset by making finding exploits like this much harder, if not impossible. People might pine for the days where you could just download a custom C toolchain, compile a piece of homebrew and be able to run it on your own console somehow.
