I dunno, if you look at the incredible hoops the iMessage exploit had to go through in order to work, then there must be a point where the effort involved in finding new exploits would far outweigh the benefits ... assuming Apple is actively finding and closing current exploits and not introducing new software that just increases the attack surface area.
