I think that you are under impression, that once the vulnerability in question is uncovered by a security researcher, nobody else (including criminal types and script kiddies) are going to do anything in that field. As long as the vulnerability exists, every second there is a chance that some bastard will uncover it and use it for profit or senseless destruction. If Apple laptops have a remotely exploitable vulnerability allowing for installing a rootkit inside a minute, they better know and they better turn off their wi-fi. And Apple is trying to stop them from protecting themselves in order to save its reputation.
