I never said that iPhones are flawless. However I consider them in a very similar security class to the Pixel. Remember that those numbers are very small and heavily biased towards what is being researched as well as other factors such as the cost of those vulnerabilities on the black market. Try looking at other metrics as well such as CVEs which are also imperfect but show that iPhones and Pixel phones offer similar levels of security. And most importantly the article that this was shared in context two doesn't imply any level of insecurity of the device itself.
