Apple isn’t really known for doing recalls until they absolutely have to

"the movie quote" = Fight Club, since yes, there's people who have not seen that movie, but we don't talk about that.
Which makes sense too. If Apple was negligent in the security space and these flaws were common then I would be all for a recall.
But Apple clearly has not been negligent in this space and they really have put forth best effort.
