I’m going to have to disagree here. If they made their operating system in such a way that the update service can be broken by any random developer, and the fact that their own software is on this list, kind of indicates to me that this is a them problem. They can’t be expected to support third party software, but they absolutely can be expected to provide a stable method to deploy patches to their systems. Linux and MacOS don’t share this issue.
I’m going to guess it’s not very easy to simply fix this problem if you’re an app developer. Intel, AMD, Microsoft itself, et. al. simply wouldn’t jeopardize their own products in this way and I’d bet many of them are unaware this is happening to their software. Some of these call-outs on the list are years-old at this point.
