I don't think this is the case here though. It's been a few days since reporting the vulnerability, not months.
We don't yet know if this was being widely exploited (versus being a niche exploit used by an APT, for example), but it will be now either way.
Also there's the consideration that security-critical environments who pay attention these have much more value-at-risk than the average Windows user. You want your safety critical systems who pay attention to be protected.
