Yeah, I think it's just a fault in the analogy and in part demonstrating why reason from analogy is faulty.

My point is this If vendors were liable (at least in part) for security faults in their products, then they would be more diligent about closing those gaps.

Yeah, and in principle I agree. It's just tough to imagine how exactly you'd regulate that in practice without doing a lot of unintended harm along the way, especially to (potential) small vendors.
