Asking for fully bug free software is nice but unrealistic. Browsers are ostensibly somewhat sandboxed too but there are always new zero-days 'cause browsers are essentially OSes with many moving parts.
However, it reasonable to expect a single hole to be fixed. The "email hole" has been discussed for decades but here we are.
- makeitdouble 2y agoEmail is still the running blood of the internet. While we mostly get away with Slack and others for in-group communication, anything going outside, especially to customers, still goes through emails. At that scale, expecting a core issue to be quickly (or ever) fixed is just unrealistic. I honestly wonder if fundamentally it will ever be fixed, or if instead we get a different communication path to cover the specific use cases we do care about security. PS: the phone is now 2 century olds, and we sure couldn't solve scamming issues...
