You're under the false assumption that these exploits are current - they're not. In fact, they're very old.

Why not point to the actual ancient exploits from circa 2011-2013 for Android versions below 5 and Chrome versions below 40?

Thanks for the link. So then is the assertion that the relevant hacks are all for older versions of Android? How does that comport with the current batch of hacks?
All of the hacks are for older versions of Android and iOS. Specifically Android version 4.x and iOS version 9.x.
