Isn't it more like walking down the same bad street every night with other people's cash in their hands, getting mugged repeatedly, not telling anyone and still

  This is a very good point. But they were also dumb enough not to realize they were getting mugged, or so they claim. Maybe I should have used "pick-pocketed" instead of mugged as an example. I am not trying to give them an excuse but we don't seem to have enough anger against the criminals that caused this.

At the very least one would expect that for a company like this, they would regularly reconcile what the blockchain states the content of the wallets they control is, and what their internal customer records says should be there. That's the very barest minimum I'd expect anyone to do. And the moment they found a discrepancy they should have suspended everything until they'd figured out why there was a discrepancy. If they've truly managed to keep losing coins over years, it means they had no effective audit mechanisms in place at all. Whoever took these coins certainly also is to blame, but if they've managed to lose the coins that way, this ought to be criminal levels of negligence.
