I think both are possible. To have a goal and to accept reality. I would not draw the conclusion that all privacy measures are meaningless. It is hard, but I think it is still worth working towards a goal of better privacy for citizens.
There is a difference here. The "new coding analysis tool" that you use for the analogy here is getting better every few weeks with the release of new models.

It is plausible to assume that, for instance, a Linux kernel that was hardened for CVEs that Sonnet 3.5 could detect is not hardened for bugs that Sonnet 4.5, 5.5, Opus, Fable, and models in 2027 can and will be able to detect.

Hence, it is rather a constant catch-up game until the LLM improvements might hit a ceiling and won't get any better in this regard.

"“To me, it [the original Star Wars trilogy] doesn’t really exist anymore. It’s like this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I’m sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it.” - George Lucas, 2004

It is insane how much George Lucas has edited the original Star Wars trilogy. I think no movies have had more edits over time than Star Wars.
