The NSA’s mission-statement in domestic civic cybersecurity is to ensure the flow of commerce, i.e. to protect GDP. They aren’t going to patch things in a way that makes them not do their jobs any more. That’d be an “attack on commerce” just as much as exploiting the vuln would be.

Having a bunch of outsiders that you have no real influence over in charge of your systems is terrifying. The alternatives are a regulatory system for information security or offering advice and hoping companies implement it. There's a lot of advice on offer.
