No it isn't. If trying to exploit some daemon requires thousands of tries instead of one try, I am thousands of times more secure. Because they will almost certainly fail the first time, causing the daemon to crash, and then have no more tries. It is only security theater if you live in the land of "lets use broken software that crashes all the time and then run a monitoring tool to automatically restart it". That is the problem.
