Of course not, the situation is already far better than it was 5 or 10 years ago. If anything, we’re slowly exiting the 0-click era, not entering it.

It's not obvious to me. As phones get new features, it stands to reason that the attack surface would also increase.

Note that I'm specifically referring to the mobile phone industry (people in at-risk countries rarely have computers).

I can't remember any recent good news about 0click mitigation
Nobody reports this stuff, but exploit kits like blackhole have completely disappeared. (Sure, maybe technically not “0click” even if delivered via an ad on nytimes.com)

The situation has dramatically improved during the past 30 years, but so has reporting. It’s the improved reporting that makes it sound like as if the world is on fire.
