In case of Adobe PDF readers I think their point would be that Adobe should notify the users - not Windows itself. That's how I interpreted it.

Sure, one would want Adobe to be the liable party in such a case. But that case wouldn't be too different from the current one, where the problem is Windows failing to warn on a file that is otherwise harmless which becomes harmful when opened by a piece of third-party software.
