Intel had to address the potential even though it was also consider a low risk impact. My complaint is that Apple chose to handle this in a way that ignored the past with Spectre and Meltdown. It basically has repeated the same mistakes for the sake of performance. The risk might be low but it could be combined with other types of attacks as well. Bad guys are clever taking one weakness and combining with another. Then you have the weakness of the end user. One who has been convinced by Apple that no harm can come to them. You also have a bigger footprint in the world and a common design thread with iPhone’s and iPad’s. So nobody has tested this on those devices. Clearly has a problem and a need to address it in order to have it not affect the trust of the end user.
