It's becoming quite a chore to keep your computer and online accounts secure. I'm in the industry; anyone who is not is probably a babe in the woods these days.

What a delightful idiom. I had to look it up.

Actually this demonstrates the opposite - this vulnerability has just been patched for half a billion people with no effort on their part.
Apple still hasn't released a fix for OS X...
Do you presume they won't?
/facepalm
That's a totally unhelpful comment. You imply that you know something that should be obvious and you think it's more helpful to be condescending than to contribute what you think.
The issue is that Apple's security engineers must have realized that there was a good chance someone would reverse engineer the patch, and from there find out the OS X is also vulnerable.
As if your question was any better.
