No it’s not I don’t think you realize the skill gap.

There is no SQLmap for iPhones and a “Metasploit” for iPhones costs 10’s of millions and requires you to be able to negotiation contracts on a state level…

The amount of money and skill that is require to identify these vulnerabilities and develop them into functional exploits is pretty insane.

It goes well beyond what even basic RCE due to say unsafe deserialization in Java requires.

Anyone without any knowledge in programming could probably learn how to identify and exploit a SQL injection even without automated tools within days if not hours.

On the other hand even experienced developers look at something like FORCEDENTRY and can barely comprehend it.
