...trying to hide in plain sight, implemented by a major corporation so nation states cold exploit customers.

It's unlikely the NSA would illegally infiltrate only one multinational corporate entity given the exposed operational success.
Going back to your original comment

> This idea that Microsoft is deliberately introducing bugs into its software so nation states can exploit them is so absurd, it really is tinfoil hat conspiracy theory ludicrousness

Replace Microsoft with AT&T and suddenly it makes sense?
