I mean, this had also happened to Apple with the recent checkm8 exploit that abused a UaF situation in the bootrom by USB communication reset. Not even Apple is secure; nothing is secure. The only secure is design by open, that's why Linux/FreeBSD had marginally less CVEs than Windows or Macs

Apples to oranges. This is about processor security. Free operating systems or proprietary, they run on the same processors.
