hot take: nobody uses thunderbolt devices. less than 0.01% of pc users and less than 0.5% of mac users. thunderbolt is pcie, what did they expect? this has also been discovered years ago, why is it a thing again?

With USB C becoming more common, TB is kinda obsolete these days anyway. I'm sure TB has better latency but not enough to be worth the vulnerabilities.

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search/results?form_type=Basic&results_type=overview&query=webgl&search_type=all, and CVE's for nvidia's driver https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search/results?form_type=Basic&results_type=overview&query=nvidia&search_type=all ,
GPUs have a large attack surface.
also i will include this https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/witchel/pubs/zhu17gpgpu-security.pdf
This is also a good source for a more technical understanding as to what is going on internally in the context of security in regards to gpus
chrome blacklists drivers until the drivers are fixed usually, on nvidia's side there have been many CVEs to do with hardwareacceleration, I would assume since nvidia uses a proprietary binary on linux, that it would also apply there.
here you can take a look at CVEs for web gl,
