That would make a lot of sense if we were talking about Android but how many iOS devices are still on iOS 10? Apple's stats show 97% of devices are iOS 11+ ( https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/ ). It seems rather unlikely that someone would invest in finding & weaponizing a zero-day exploit against iOS 10 for less than 3% of users. Possible, sure, but Apple's claims needs evidence here.

Apple figure show that 97% of devices that can be upgraded were upgraded. A lot of people keep using Apple devices that are out of support.

Depends on how many people in the target group are running those versions.
