This is a dangerous position to hold. this vulnerability aids in reducing the overall security posture of the OS so its quite valuable. it improves an adversaries opportunities and however limited, still advances the potential for system compromise. Infosec isnt just home runs, it is iterative, cumulative progress toward a shared goal. things like this are what ultimately led to XBox and Playstation jailbreaks.

This is correct, but at the same time it's important to not overhype every single vulnerability as the end of the world. Unfortunately some security people seem incentivized to do that, and it causes a "crying wolf" problem. Serious end of the world announcements should be reserved for serious end of the world vulnerabilities. This is a vulnerability that reduces the security of the Apple Silicon platform to being closer to on par with the immediate prior platform that Apple is actually still selling.
