Sure, there's a pressure for performance figures that makes hardware makers cut various corners, including security. Same with software.
Reality is always about compromises and tradeoffs. Now we see how the balance point is being pushed back closer to the pole of "security". A new equilibrium will eventually appear.
(You can see the very same process in e.g. encryption algorithms: tradeoffs between performance and security, and phasing out of solutions that yielded either to finding of logical flaws or increases in available computing power.)
