Dissenting opinion: if this wasn't in the kernel it's unlikely to have been fixed as quickly --- explorer.exe crashes are unfortunately still common even without third party extensions. If they were causing BSODs they would certainly be given more attention and fixed more quickly.

Poor prioritisation doesn't excuse poor systems design.

Well, that would mean no more kernel bugs and that would reduce the impact of these issues substantially. If that would translate into the bug getting fixed that's a supplier issue, but no longer a major one.
