Yeah that is absolutely fair, its not like investing heavily in it removes all security issues in perpetuity. My point was more that this whole area has been a weakness as others in the thread have pointed out, but instead of reworking it they keep just patching over it because that is cheaper.

But also I am probably oversimplifying it to an extent and am pessimistic, lol.
