Re:MacOS Update Accidentally Undoes Apple's “root” Bug Patch by platinumrad on Friday December 01, 2017 @07:15PM (#15829033)
Maybe they won't be aware of this particular vulnerability but issues like the the iOS autocorrect bugs[1][2] get memed to death on all sorts of mainstream social media platforms. Even the original "root" tweet got 10k+ retweets.

Sure but that's still a far cry from saying that even a significant percentage of the Mac user base is aware of it. Social media moves so fast that there's almost no chance it penetrated the zeitgeist. A big well known flaw was the iOS 8.0.1 update that bricked iPhones. That was pulled within a few hours of it being released but the scale of the iPhone meant that it impacted a large number of people. This is too invisible for anyone to notice.
