Could be any (combination) of

- looking at components in isolation, not realizing that a component could receive untrusted input

- looking at the entire system, but not in a configuration that made the CVE possible

- having to be extremely lucky to find the issue through fuzzing, and Apple not hitting that jackpot

- having found the issue in testing, but incompletely/incorrectly fixing it

- mostly focusing testing on other components because this one’s code didn’t change and hadn’t seen issues in years

I don’t think we have enough info to know which (or something entirely different) it is.
