Their numbers are huge so of course the number of exploited servers will be higher in raw numbers, but is the core "extremely" exploited or is the plugins the real problem? We should be talking about the language/merits but I'll listen to arguments about the ecosystem. Just feels really dumb to talk about things like plugins. It's like saying JS is crap because 70% of the web extensions written in JS are sold to the botnet or are pure crap. Or how a popular operating system has more CVEs because it's popular. Not sure how to explain better what I want to say so let's just leave at that.
