Interesting. I would think that opening unsecured services on to the Internet at large is a big no-no; and that whoever sets the default-allow is the one who's setting the trap here. Yes, the admin should inspect any installation for traps, but that's, as you note, secondary to "don't ship software which has a highly convenient trap set up". Most software traditionally exposed to the Internet did manage to do that, back in the early 2000s (by shipping default config `interfaces=lo` or somesuch), nobody should get a free pass on that, MS or not.
