The security platform is vulnerable in that minor modifications to the original device would permit loading of non-genuine boot images; the fact that the counterfeits used the same vulnerability to make it look like they were loading a genuine boot image on counterfeit hardware doesn't change that. The platform is vulnerable because this is a condition that the designers intended to engineer against - it's vulnerable in the sense that Sony's PS2 platform turned out to be vulnerable to circumvention with modchips.
