Comparing CVE rates is NOT pointless. The bad guys have basically the same toolset as the good guys. Therefore the rate at which vulnerabilities are being discovered by the good guys is indicative of how fast they are being discovered and exploited by the bad guys. Second the thread pointed out that many iPhones remain vulnerable and unpatched to openly disclosed security holes WITHOUT an option to update them. One must assume at that point that they are being exploited. The fact that alternate browsers don't have this problem is a significant version. But you do have a good point that it is bad for third party apps to bundle their own browsers to bypass controls, and then leave them vulnerable.
