Isn't that a bit like a firefighter saying your house burning down is "glorious"?

How many firefighters do you know? I guarantee you every one of them gets excited at the prospect of a "good" structure fire.

Maybe more like a meteorologist excited by a really bad storm.

The result might not be glorious but the fire is amazing to watch.

To the extent that he exploits computers for a living (e.g. pentesting) and not stops exploits for a living, it seems more like a (presumably law-abiding) arsonist calling houses burning glorious.

Arsonists set fires. Vendors create vulnerabilities, not pentesters.

Ooooh, I dunno, I might argue that vendors have their role in creating pentesters. ;-)
