Arguing mostly against myself, a CVE ID may well raise attention, which
is desirable.

The problem is opening the scope of CVE too widely.  Maybe an
"exposure" is that I thought some software was legit, but turns out it
was not?  As opposed to something that is clearly malware from the
start?

We have a lot of malware to assign CVE IDs to.
