> Microsoft and Sony appear to have solved it for their gaming consoles

Have they? I know Apple an Nintendo have been trying for years and we have jailbreak and Homebrew, I believe there is even jailbreak for nintendo switch.

If there isn't yet an exploit to gain root on Xbox and PS5, it's only a matter of time.

Xbox One didn't have a root exploit for its entire lifetime and counting. It was released back in 2013. That's nine years. So one could say MS "solved it".

There is one for PS5, no hardware hack needed. I don’t know about Xbox.
