Wordpress has a lot of security issues due to its age and modularity. At some point devs needed to just say no, they never did, and now it’s everyone’s problem

It's not the devs but their clients that need to change. Plus many of the arguments against WordPress can also be made about Windows. Neither platform is going away any time soon.
