I think this is an unfair characterization. Sure, it's hard to hear that their "hero is irresponsible", but the real reason is that this kind of behavior puts everyone at risk while Apple tries to fix it.

That may be true for cisco and juniper where upgrades must be carefully rolled out across globally distributed critical infrastructure, but this is APPLE. They need no such help. They can push to everyone, now, and it will be fine. Forcing their hand is safer than trying to hide a flaw a 3 year old could find on accident.

I'm pretty sure any fix has to go through Build and Integration before being rolled out. Then you need to have people actually install the update…

Oh my goodness I totally forgot they had to build it first! /s
They were already at risk. Now they can mitigate.
