It sure is a good thing that Apple has fixed all these, and has put out patches for all effected versions, since they care about their users' privacy, right? Right?

I know Apple has now switched to 10 years for MacOS, and 7ish years of iOS, but I hope the EU passes some laws to make this a requirement, rather than something a company can choose to provide or not.

Yes? As the OP states:

2022–08–08: Arbitrary file write and delete in Calendar sandbox reported

2022–10–24: (No CVE) fixed in macOS Monterey 12.6.1 and Ventura 13 (Ventura beta3 was vulnerable)

One thing I think you won't like about this is that it's easier for large commercial vendors to comply than it is for open source projects.

Apple can increase those times because that's how long it'll take them to patch issues like these.
