Isn't the whole point of glasswing to patch stuff way before it can be exploited? If the patched code is distributed quickly- there's no opportunity (or incentive) for bad actors to craft and distribute an exploit. This reads like an attempt to spin them as not being "real" vulnerabilities.

I thought the idea is that they are finding them before they are used in the wild -- how would an unfound vulnerability be useful to an attacker?
