I think it's very reasonable to point at the development model and go, "I think this is bad and specifically the cause for security vulnerabilities". If you want to make that your position (I am sure it is already, and I don't think it is particularly controversial) that is completely fine. But there's a difference between holding that and your actual comment. Like, this was 100% unintentional, and people literally introduce malicious or undesirable features in their software all the time. Maybe we should save the tarring and feathering for that, and come up with a more measured take for stuff like this?
