You all know this but i will mention this fact again.  There is a thing called bug bounty program and jailbreak hackers will report bugs to Apple and get the huge amount of compensation for it.

Even if hackers find exploits, vulnerabilities and perform demos about it,  that doesn't indicate that jailbreak will be released.  

Its the opposite these days and hackers will decide to earn money.  That is better solution for them to make living expenses.  No wonder Luca Todesco retired from the jailbreak community because of ignorant people requesting everything for free.

There was a poll on reddit and most guys agreed that if they were developers, they will report bugs to Apple and receive recognition as well as money.

We shouldn't get our hopes up about jailbreaking. You heard of Jay Freeman, founder of Cydia and pioneer of jailbreaking.  He even said jailbreaking is officially dead due to following reason.

Apple’s increased security made jailbreaking harder and if a hacker finds a vulnerability, he or she can make up to $1 million by selling it. Also most of the best jailbreakers moved on to high-paying security jobs.

When we wait, jailbreak will arrive someday < this predictions worked when there was no proper compensation but as of now it doesn't work in these days because Apple strengthened bounty program on last year and its proven effective. 

Hackers just do demos and report directly to Appple and all of their name is listed on Apple's CVE
