Does this also mean Microsoft is at fault when someone writes malware that exploits Chrome on Windows? After all it’s the Windows platform and API. Should I also blame RMS when someone writes malware in C? After all they might have used the libc.

Should I also blame RMS when someone writes malware in C? After all they might have used the libc. Say someone put malware on Ubuntu or Debian official repos, the developers find it and silently cleanup the mess but keep it quiet because of PR. Who should notify the victims> the package maintainer, the individuals responsible for the malware, the distribution as a whole? If the Microsoft Store or Steam distributed malware, even if they I expect from them to aknowledge what happened, plans to improve the situation and the victims should recieve an email or notification in the store with what happened,and what should they do. I am not asking for Apple to get the blame for the malware , just to acknowledge that the Store is not 100% safe and this can happen (bad for PR) and let the victims know.
