Basically if someone has physical access to device, its game over.

You can do things like efuses that basically brick devices if something gets accessed, but that becomes a matter of whether the attacker falls for the trap.

It took more than a decade to exploit this vulnerability and even then there are fairly trivial countermeasures that could have been used to prevent it (and that are implemented in other platforms.)

Nothing is unhackable, but it requires a very peculiar definition of "game over".

(And as others have pointed out: only early versions of this Xbos One where vulnerable to this attack.)

		The incentives to hack the XOne were few. Easy sideloading. No exclusives. Not a great performance per dollar ratio either. It is the opposite of Nintendo consoles if you think about it, and nintendo consoles are notorious for having a really quick homebrew scene.

This hasn't been true for the time a typical American high school senior has been alive. Please stop repeating things people said years ago.

Only if they leave a door open, which they did here.

If your argument is that you can't hope to close every door, then AI will make it easier to close all the doors in the future.
