How's that even possible? AFAIK after the first few attempts there's an exponentially increasing lockout time between passcode attempts, so the random button pressings would have to persist for a long time for it to reach 10 attempts.

It wasn’t always like that, it used to be just 10 attempts you could do in a minute.
The exponential backoff existed in iOS 5, IIRC.
