You're trying to equate Apples (no pun intended) with oranges - proof of concept doesn't equal actual attacks and the fact that each time a problem is found, it makes headline news but other OSs get dumped on so much that reports are treated as a matter of course, tends to support the view that some OSs are safer than others - please note that I said "safer not immune...

I'm just disproving your "it was not in the wild" statement, quite successfully I might add. It was in the wild, and this proves other apps could have been in the wild using the same exploits. You might not want to accept it, but there is no fully secure system, all system have cracks and can be exploited, and apple's is no exception.
