This misses the point completely. Regular security issues happen often, in 2023 alone we've already had 809 CVEs in Android [0]. Saying we should overlook addressing those because sometimes a CPU level security issue comes along is absurd. Spectre and other similar families of attacks are comparatively rare enough that they have names not numbers, that should say enough.

What is the point in "security updates" for a CPU that can't be made secure?
