This is complete nonsense. Windows releases are supported for 10+ years. Security bugs are patched in all releases that are impacted regardless of whether the issue exists in current branch. A developer fixing an issue has no impact on MSRC being able to reproduce the issue on released builds. The existence of security bugs does not reflect poorly on individual developers, most of whom maintain code they did not write.
