Nobody said it did. You are confused by the huge number of zero day holes
in Apple's products that you can't separate which of those many zero-day
holes are in iMessage (which can be patched) and which of the holes are in
Apple's millions of hopelessly flawed CPU chips (which can't be patched).

Back to the subject matter at hand, the net has been flooded with the
suggestion for iOS users to disable iMessages due to a "credible" warning.

For days, that has been the news but more recently the news has tempered
that dire warning saying that the evidence is mostly in hackers' news.

Non-hacker news has recently been reporting that it could be a false alarm.
