Why haven't I seen that argument previously when there were vulnerabilities? Why are all these people suddenly saying it, all at the same time?

- kibwen 3y ago1. Because this wasn't any old vulnerability, this was a backdoor placed there intentionally. 2. Because such attacks are rare (or perhaps rarely noticed), with the previous high-profile one being a backdoor attempt in the kernel in 2003. 3. Because this is the first high-profile open-source backdoor since tensions began to rise WRT cyber warfare with Russia and China.
