Its probably that people think its unfair to single out Microsoft when other developers doing the exact same thing and worse. Sure MS is a juicier target and you get more publicity, and they do make it easy to poke fun at themselves. Titles like "Linux foundation's failed attempt at releasing Linux" for every single Linux security bug would probably not work so well. On a design note, maybe its time to not require full root privileges to install/copy some files. I think Windows did the right thing, and now even the admin user cannot delete critical OS components.
