In my opinion WordPress can be compared to Windows. Not just in terms of security, but everything.

WordPress is the Windows of content management systems.

They both are widely used, have an outdated architecture, are keeping compatibility above all, therefore don't innovate, are very extendable, can run almost anything, and are the go-to for many people.

It's up to you to decide, if these are good things or bad things.
