Stuxnet targeted the specific PLCs used at Iranian nuclear facilities, and had to be able to function in an airgapped environment. I reckon the logistics were far and away more complicated than finding Windows exploits, especially at that time.

But what's all this have to do with the ongoing conversations about pwning Windows-based networks inside major consumer utility assets?

I responded to this thread of thought:

Mainly to agree with it. I believe it is still likely true.

Any resemblance to other discussion further up or down is unintentional.
