Your final statement was not accurate, the vulnerabilites listing and afforementioned changes from jaguar to panther are just one example of it.

There are a range of OS's which natively have not had more than a handful of holes in every version for more than 8 years.

A single code mistake can generate a vulnerability. To believe that non-disclosure of unchecked code portions will maintain security is a farce. What is more likely is that those who have found holes are quite enjoying keeping real quiet about it right now, or possibly talking money with Apple.
