There's a difference in severity between "will get hacked" and "has this risk". The popular web apps are targeted, and very shortly after any exploits are found, automated drive-by attacks are live across the web. The Googles are great for quickly compiling target lists as these web apps are typically pretty easy to identify - exact phrasing on the login screens etc.

Yep I last year had a locked down aws instance running just a single purpose node.js sever and I saw loads of attempts to access common web based admin pages eg phpmyadmin WordPress.

Naturally these where from Chinese or Russian ip address ranges
