"This is quite possibly the worst and most widespread computing vulnerability that has ever existed."
The problem is to make that true, you have to carefully phrase the situation as "this has the potential to give rise to the worst, bad .... etc".
And that's the thing. Ignoring this ranks along attitudes like "that cement pool of mining tails right above town is quite sturdy", "we just need a little time to reduce our carbon emissions..." and "we shouldn't kill the IoT with too much regulation..." etc
If X isn't a problem right now!, then it seems like X is going to get about zero attention from a world swimming in things that are a problem right now.
And that too is going to give rise to further problems down the road, to say the least.
