Why should the company get bent? Because some executive caught wind of a critical zero day and decided to have their company mitigate damage the same as any other company.

Do you really think the security department in this specific company would not find this email dumb? In many cases, when things are reacted to hastily and in parallel its easy to take one action and generalize it to the whole company and not realize this is one of many actions the company took. No need to get bent out of shape over this and say this entire fortune 500 company is equally incompetent. If you think that you are not living in reality.
