Everything useful is a security issue. Security is a trade-off, not a positive stat you maximize. Every security tightening removes some utility from a system; the hope is that this disproportionally disrupts the "bad actors" over

You could argue that training SOTA LLMs is pre-bruteforcing every problem everywhere all at once.
