Hypothetically, if i were in OP's shoes and 'really' scared, I would be going to a genetic doctor instead of conducting my own research. (i would still look up stuff, but that would be too risky to depend on)
as someone who closely works on qualcomm baseband processors, i can say that security is one of the top priorities of qualcomm. There are whole bunches of teams dedicated to sec/vuln analysis. Not saying that the issues mentioned in the article did not occur...but I believe that those probably occured in older chips (a few generations older)

Views above are personal and do not reflect views of Qualcomm
perfectly describes some of the top mobile/chipset companies i have worked for.
Some of the code is so horrible that you feel it might be worth the time rewriting it. But time is too precious...nobody has time to step back and analyze or point fingers. just get the code fix and ship to it the customer.
i am surprised nobody talked about security...i am guessing the OBD interface in cars can be used to send commands to various components....could somebody hack into your car??
it will boil down to corporate principles/culture that Apple has. It has to decide how much max resources it can dedicate to handling a small subset of affected user VS. potential media backlash that could be triggered if some of these 'minority' users are influential.
