The point is that they could have found the issue and seen that it was about to be released. That would be good engineering, bad engineering is when you don't find the root cause of your problem and see if its being worked on

Good engineering is when you solve the problems you have. Sometimes there are multiple ways to solve a problem. Just because they did not choose the solution (which again, we're only speculating would actually solve the issue here, we don't have proof of that) you prefer does not make it poor engineering.
