Their platform (Windows) is getting a bad reputation due to the problem they neglected to fix (shipping a "vulnerable" curl, informing users when the old curl was getting flagged). They could pass the buck but it's just going to be bad for them later when users think Windows itself has security vulns and breaks itself when the users do what they're told to do by vendors. If they don't want the bad rep, they need to be proactive and work with vendors and better inform customers. If I was the CEO I'd do something about it.
