My reading of this is that for this (truly horrible) attack to get you, you'd need to run an app in which it's embedded for an extended period of time on your computer. So the bad guys could hack me if I downloaded an app from a sketchy source (unlikely) or they managed to hack any one of Adobe or Mozilla or Microsoft Office or Chrome or Safari or Apple Music or Emacs or YouTube or or or … (less unlikely).
