I find the smugness of frequent "Airtight hatchway" posts somewhat annoying in the light of the numerous Windows security vulnerabilities though.

  The point of those posts is how frequently people think they've got a security vulnerability report that isn't one which makes it harder to spot actual Windows security vulnerabilities signal in the giant noise of feedback sent to Windows and Windows adjacent teams. Many of those posts directly mention that someone on Windows took too much time (assuming "some time" is too much time), researching enough information to assure some paying support customer that the issue they found was not a security vulnerability. I can't fault you for reading them as smug, and some of them objectively are, but the intended messaging is not making light of how many Windows security vulnerabilities happen, but of how much time is spent going in circles around non-vulnerabilities when teams could be better spent dealing with real ones.
