This is a weird statement, since the premise of this blog post is that these kinds of attacks aren't out of reach for a single talented researcher on a Google salary. It's not out of reach for any government. Nauru, Grenada, Tonga, the Comoros --- they can all afford this.

I believe the point of SulfurHexaFluri's final sentence is that it is cost prohibitive for Apple to dedicate a bunch of employees to search for bugs in order to fix them all. That is, it's cost-effective to find 1 bug, but not to find all of them. The sentence could have been worded better.
