It's not - Apple's developers don't have the same pervasive security focus that the OpenBSD team has. In general the stuff which comes out of the Unix/NeXT side of the company tends to show signs of being developed by people with at least average security awareness; some of the classic Mac OS stuff has almost child-like naivety. The other problem is that [EMAIL PROTECTED] tends to be a black-hole - the *only* way to get a response from them is to threaten public disclousure and even a trivial fix will frequently take half a year or more (they are better about releasing new versions of third-party code when the upstream is patched).
