This is less true than it seems. It is pretty rare to go from vuln to simple exploit for systems that people care about. There are plenty of vulns in chrome or whatever that were difficult to actually weaponize because you need just the right kind of gadgets to create a sandbox escape and the vuln only lets you write to ineffective memory addresses.

Stealing a bitcoin wallet by cracking the private key for it also requires red team to be lucky once. Once AI security gets to the point where the probability is infinitesimal for causing actual harm to the business it will be fine.
