Security by obscurity is no security at all, because any repressive government will already be shining a flashlight at it to try and find anything they can. Making it faster for security researchers to find vulnerabilities means that there are less people vulnerable.

I am not advocating against this sort of technology at all.

I am against it being a product sold exclusively and secretly to enterprises and governments. The sort of entities who are not informing Apple and Google about vulnerabilities but instead using them for unethical and criminal means.

That depends on who the researchers are working for.
