I bet they realize the lifespan of this device is very short and are trying to maximize ROI short-term.

  That was my thought as well - but on the flip side, by dealing in quantity they are a lot more likely to have one leak and be reverse engineered, and thus have Apple render them all useless. It's certainly an interesting problem of profit maximization!

    Unless the vulnerability is in the CPU/DMA/whatever and not easily patched. Everyone assumes that Apple has no idea what it is, maybe they are keenly aware and it’s just not fixable.

  True. If Apple or a security firm get a hold of one of these devices, surely they'd be able to reverse engineer it and patch the vulnerabilities.
