I don't get that impression. It's patched and more resilient now, the exploit occurred with someone watching the github about the patch, or even more likely it was someone on the dev team/discussion about why the patch was needed. The "guardians" are still there and distributed. I don't see more distributed bridge styles being real competitors at least to Wormhole on the Solana network. Individual users didn't lose funds and their exposure is always limited to a few minutes.
