>> "security is part of [Apple's] product strategy of keeping complete control of the platform"

^^ True, which is why Apple's systems and related security measures will likely never be publicly auditable.

On the other hand, it makes exploits very valuable to the FBI where they will likely be saved for high profile cases. I can't tell if this is a good or bad thing.

It's neither good or bad, but a reflection of how complex real security is, that being perfectly secure is likely impossible, etc.
