That means only people with the time, energy, and expertise to create an exploit will have an exploit. This includes probably 90% of the people who would use the exploit maliciously and 100% of the people who pose a real thread to the community. It does, however, ensure that the majority of ordinary users won't be able to test their systems to see if they're vulnerable or if the vulnerability is fixed. So at least it will have some effect.
