Critical system vulnerabilities are few and far between for most companies.
Samsung has much greater than average occurrences of critical root level vulnerabilities.

My S22 ultra has a major bug that causes the screen to no longer update until I screenshot my way to the restart button. (Their response is trade in for an S23, but at my expense).
I've never had a TV fail before, much less within two years. When I first put it together, it seemed like it was designed to fail. When they do, repair means either be charged $300 for a $10 fiber optic cable or $400 for a new output box.
Any appliance repair person worth their salt would tell you to never buy Samsung appliances. They're the most prone to failure, most expensive to repair. They try to appeal to consumers by appearing like a luxury brand, while having bottom of the barrel engineering inside.
I am avoiding anything Samsung until their track record turns around completely.
I get it you dislike Samsung but citation needed for such claims other than "trust me bro".
Also, since Samsung is possibly the world's biggest, or at least one of the biggest makers and sellers of electronics, serving a wide variety of markets and price points, it's inevitable that their name pops up more often than other brands.
The target on your back from hackers and security researchers is proportional to your size as a company. Everyone would like to gloat they hacked a Samsung device. Nobody cares you hacked a TCL device.
So a better metric would be severe vulnerabilities per number of devices sold .
