One of your points restated with a small tweak:

> Is Apple scared that vulnerabilities will be found in iOS? It's much easier to find them in a virtual environment.

And this is exactly why I really hope Apple loses—if they win, it could have a chilling effect for years to come. We want it to be as easy as possible for security researchers to find vulnerabilities so they can be fixed.

iOS is the worst offender of this because it’s so incredibly locked down. Where are those special iPhones for security researchers? Checkm8 helps, although it can’t be used to inspect devices newer than the iPhone X.
