You are right but on the other hand... what would happen to most
system-/network-administrators if MS Software would suddenly be secure - or
if there would be no kid anymore writing worms and viruses against
Windows-Software? I am sure at least 25% of the administrators would be
without work, and the rest would have to be ready for earning essentially
less money than now. The same would happen to freelancers as well.
Just something to think about.

So long,
Oliver
