It is, but also worth keeping in mind that vulnerability triage is just an annoying, resource-intensive process. Putting aside the "named vulnerability" thing, the most common prompt for a triage process is "new vulnerability discovered in a dependency"; that will happen several times a week in most significant products. Almost all of those vulnerabilities are marginal, and even the ones that aren't are usually not exposed in a typical use of the dependency. It's just an annoying problem.
