This mentality is becoming passé. And frankly this article/post is a good example of the reason. It was long thought that you could name & shame people into good security, but it turns out they just purchase cyber insurance and retreat deeper into the shadows, which increases exposure to the end user.
But the new reality is that malicious uptake on publicized POCs is so great, and the negligent refusal to patch is so great that a widespread culture of reporting has actually increased harm to the public. That is the reality, and until there are laws that hold companies liable for the software they choose it will remain the case.
