Maybe I just don’t get it, but how does this work in any way that doesn’t make them liable for some company being exploited by something that they were aware could’ve been prevented?
Maybe, but in practice nothing happens. Microsoft has had numerous issues reported to them before, years ago, and the issue reported to them was never fixed or taken seriously. Then years later, the issue is sometimes rediscovered and they find the report from years earlier, and nothing happens.
Until legislation gets passed to force companies to take liability of their software, nothing will change.
