Both can have exploits as you've shown, but you haven't addressed the difficulty of securing one or the other. Turing complete systems have a dramatically larger state space than non turing complete implementations and so at a fundamental level are more difficult to secure.

I simply don't think Turing completeness is the deciding factor in determining that difficulty. Hopefully someone can define this more clearly, but in my opinion, the issue is not abstract "state space", but implementation complexity and attack surface.

For example, it's a lot easier to write a secure Brainfuck interpreter (a very simple Turing complete language that can only access STDIN and STDOUT) than a program that securely extracts a ZIP file to disk.
