The "problem" here is that a market for infrastructure bugs now exists. The birth of a market isn't a bad thing, though. Furthermore, the market hasn't created the bugs, but exposed them! This exposure is a net benefit to society because the bugs have value that predates the advent of cryptocurrencies. It's just that before cryptocurrencies the value was hidden and only unlockable by nation states in times of war. Far better for infrastructure to be continuously under attack and strengthened via ransomware than to completely collapse in battle.
