Summary: This keeps happening (the majority of "KNOWN EXPLOITED VULNERABILITIES" just announced by CISA is Microsoft Windows). Will Bill Gates-funded media cover it? If so, how will that be covered? Microsoft knew about these flaws (and told the spy/state partners so they can exploit these). Microsoft did not patch until it was too late and these holes were actively exploited a lot (at least 4 such holes, based on CISA).
They don't care about the users and issuing a few bytes with random characters costs them next to nothing. It gives them control over billions of human beings.
If even one media outlet told you in 2010 that Microsoft would fall from 100% (of Web requests) to about 1 in 8 Web requests, you'd probably struggle to believe it
