First, if governments can use these holes, then so can criminals.

Second, governments are the greatest criminals in the world, so it doesn't really matter.

Nobody has killed more people in the last decades than governments. Governments are basically psychopathic killers, having killed millions. Oh but they've been nice to you? Sure as long as you stay on their good side. Personally, I would not trust a guy who has a track record of murder. Neither would I trust an organization who has a track record of murder, in this case mass murder.

But hey maybe that's just me!

Apple in this case is actually one of the few companies doing the right thing - unfortunately though, there's so many zero day exploits left in the software that they have lost the cat and mouse game.
Even if they patch this hole, they’ll just find another one so it’s impossible to stay ahead of this military grade software.
