Think about these peoples starting point. They want a complete OS and application set built from source that is completely auditable.
This is direct circumvention of that.
Additionally, you can never prove you have removed all of your security flaws. The best you can do is search harder to become more confident that none exist. There is no way to prove that a privilege escalation flaw does not exists. Now arbitrary code is run against you wishes and without your permission.
No one can prove it didn't run a privilege escalation attack. If you think your digital security is of paramount importance you must assume you have been compromised and take steps to remedy this potential issue.
It is not that google is guilty, it is that moments before this happened security was provable and now it is not.
