That statement irks me. Responsible disclosure or not, It's Microsoft themselves that put their customers at risk, not the researcher.

The industry, on average, approves of responsible disclosure because there's a tacit agreement that making risk-proof software isn't feasible. Though admittedly some companies don't seem to be trying very hard anymore.
It's not a dichotomy either, they can both have put the customers at risk.
Especially since the only explanation for why this exists is as a backdoor.
