That's quite the spin there. I wouldn't say that's why ms originally decided to bash WebGL. It's far more likely they wanted to both scare users away from browsers supporting WebGL and at the same time try to prevent an OpenGL like API from gaining any traction vs directx as targeting directx makes your app ms platforms only. It was only later they finally caved and implemented WebGL in ie. If they truly were only concerned about security but otherwise ok with WebGL they would have joined the WebGL committee and cooperatively influenced the spec.
