Oh please.
The issue has more than one dimension. Apart from them being nice and auditing now, there is still the fact that their internal processes have allowed (and probably encouraged) stashed passwords in such a manner that 6 of them has been found in a really short time. Unless your process is total garbage you don't end up with 6 backdoor passwords like that without knowing it.
So for any company that prides themselves with having a device in the middle of LOTS of networks, its a very poor track record to figure out security and backdoors don't really mix in 2018.
