Vulnerable products do not harm economically, as long as
each competitor in the software business suffers the same
economical consequences.

Therefore, if every competitor creates security vulnerabilities
C style, the consequences do not include a relative disadvantage
for any of them, economically.

On the contrary, a security vulnerability creates an opportunity
to have customers apply any patches to products as long as they are
distributed with a label saying "security and vulnerability fixes".
