I'm sure there are some who might want to "create mayhem on a highway" and who would not choose this route. But when your potential attackers are [everyone with an internet connection] this kind of exploit has huge potential. Imagine if the vulnerability were bundled with a popular mobile website or if someone else cracked how to mass-distribute it. Countries that are at war could use it against their enemy. Al-Abu-ISIS-HAMAS-Nidal-Haram-Boko could use it against anyone/everyone.
>Analogy: is it worth the time making a pick-proof lock for the front door when someone can just break a window?
Yes, because not everyone can throw a rock from their house to yours, be nearly everyone can be connected to the internet.
