I didn't know that used to be their tagline though. That this changed is an interesting perspective.

And as for point #2 specifically, detection improved as well so it's not as if attackers are clearly winning with better attacks on larger attach surfaces. There was a talk recently (can't remember which conference) optimistically wondering if we might be succeeding more than we're failing, since the impactful bugs are getting much harder to find. We're very clearly not there yet, but try to get an exploit on a phone now and compare that to 2011 or 2001. There is a trend there and it's not the same one as GP claims HAProxy is going in. Though your point #1 might adequately explain that, in my head they're still just a proxy (I don't work with the product from a sysadmin perspective) so I wouldn't have known of it if it hadn't come up.
