This is pretty important when we're taking about a billion devices. The amount of people who do this is irrelevant and thus 99% or more of these users will be vulnerable until their phone stops working or the Facebook app no longer supports such an old version, forcing them to get a new one [assuming new Snapdragon chips fix the issue].

Right I never suggested otherwise, just clearing up the misconception that a locked bootloader automatically means the phone's OS can't be updated.
