Why wouldn't they be? Especially considering their existing reputation in consumers minds for security and reliabilty?

Because they own and maintain the operating system, not the vulnerable software?

I understand that they've built this image of being a grand infinite protector for all their users within the walls of their garden, but they've had plenty of security issues within their own software, and plenty of cases where application developers have sidestepped their rules.

This relationship of trust with Apple is cultish at best. To say that I can trust Apple but not Mozilla? What are we smoking here?
