Yes, but no need to go straight for the torches and pitchforks at three weeks. In better times someone might be out on their honeymoon or vacation, these days, you gotta hope the dev isn't laid out from Covid.

Sometimes there is a reason that isn't incompetence for these delays. And in some cases another team can/has provided cover, i.e. by releasing updated AV sigs to address the exploit.

Though in this case Apple doen't have a full AV, and it seems to be launching the sploit without tripping their "secret" security code that blocks certain other exploits.
