It is an outlier today.

Do you think it will be an outlier in a year? In two years?

If a zero-day can gain you millions, tens of millions, maybe a hundred million dollars? Do you think we can keep operating the way we have been up until now?

I think it will remain a outlier until that becomes the easier/more economical way for them to do business. Right now there is so much low hanging fruit that I'd see no reason to invest in a bucket truck to get at the stuff further up the tree. I'd say your prediction is at least a few decades away.
