Thieves are probably more likely to want good locks on their house, it's for sure true with pentesters. Security issues is a security issue, the justification is mostly just puffery. Even the white house statement is vague as hell with things some adversary might be able to do grasping at something to relate what is an industry-specific esoteric issue to some hypothetical tangible real world consequence. It's like how Net Neutrality had that fake Comcast ad where you had to pay for tiers of internet to try to make sense of what really was a B2B market intervention to stop ISPs from rent-seeking tech companies. It made it relatable even if it wasn't at all what would have (and didn't happen I suppose) happened.
