They don't try to take information assurance seriously?

Are projects like SELinux[1], SE for Android[2], or the STM/PE[3] serious enough?

Oh, they requisition budget for the IAD mission, and they use it on IAD things. In reality, the most important thing NSA does is get budget allocated to itself! But does anyone believe that in a conflict between IAD and CNO/SIGINT, IAD has ever won?
