Because actual gaming vulnerability researchers that do know who they are are called cheaters and are mostly active in cutthroat PvP games, not single player ones. Just ask the developers of Rust (the game, not the language), they know everything about it. They were one of the very few devs to ask the community to do what all communities in such games always do anyway - find exploits and glitches, and publish them on Youtube. As a result, they ended up with a game that is pretty robust to item duplication and general exploits.
