The fact that they are simpler, in terms of lines of code. It's no
guarantee, but the less a given piece of code does, the less bugs it will
have. -- H
And that they have less "features" (which is certainly correlated to
their simplicity). IIUC, the misimplemented feature leading to this
vulnerability is a bash-ism.
IIRC you could export functions in ksh. Or maybe only aliases. But that implies
most POSIX shells may support it.
I've never seen the point myself; it is not a feature I've ever needed.

Follow! But! Follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to this cave
is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it
and lived! Bones of four fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So,
brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no
further, for death awaits you all with nasty big pointy teeth.
