Those issues are all end-user issues, not WordPress issues.  I'd compare all of these to buying a vehicle, not doing oil changes, leaving your windows down, keys in the ignition, and doors unlocked while parking at Wal-Mart.  Is that the car's manufacturer's fault when something happens or the end-user?


WordPress in itself is a secure platform, it's the end-user who makes it vulnerable. 


The sheer volume of WordPress sites makes a hack seem more extreme than another platform.  800+ million sites are currently running WordPress, Shopify is next with around 70 million websites.  Why wouldn't hackers attempt to exploit WordPress? That's like fishing in the ocean vs a farm pond trying to catch the biggest fish.
