That happens all the time as it's relatively normal to do so in this type of disclosure . With the political focus on Huawei these days it's likely just people noticing this message more than others, it's not like other big manufacturers show better security practices. With Huawei in particular, MS as a US company really couldn't have omitted the name from the disclosure without being put in a weird spot later down the road.

While I agree with other posters that the wording of this disclosure is unnecessarily mixed with a PR piece, naming companies for me is crucial as it allows end users to assess their own impact o f a vulnerability and also puts a public track record on these vendors.
