I mean, Intel did it first and I do believe AMD and Qualcomm also followed suit.

    Yes, and Apple decided to do the same thing knowing the risks.

    "Intel did it!" is not a panacea for apple; it makes things worse for them.

    You can't compete without doing it. Do you think Intel and AMD stopped doing it? Hell nah, people will find new exploits in a few years, I'm certain.

    If you don't do speculative execution, you'll be left in the dust unfortunately.

    If anything, this shows that there should be separate lines of CPUs for handling classified data and such, that don't do it. But it would likely be prohibitively expensive to implement a separate product line.
