Apple actually creates some signatures in house with “XProtect”, but I’m not sure they do the same for raw privesc exploits. I’m also not sure how thorough they are with their signature creation...

Well, that I don't know...

Some of them. But mostly of prevent forwarding windows-malware. Most corporate-managed stuff has endpoint protection, and most end-users are covered by GateKeeper, XProtect and the standard Google safe browse whatever it's called thing. And since most of the basic users simply use webmail, that vector is covered as well. It's not as bad as it once was.

No
