Also pointing your (or anyone's finger) at the already overworked and exploited engineers in many countries is just abysmal in my opinion. It's not an engineers decision to make what the deadlines of finishing a software is. Countless number of companies are controlled by business people. So point your finger at them because they are who don't give a flying f*&% whether the software is secure or not. We engineers are very well aware with both the need and the implications of security. So this kind of name shaming must be stopped by the security community now and forever in my opinion.

I think this quote is fundamentally wrong and intentionally misleading. The equivalent question would be "can we find any cracks on it?" Which makes complete sense. And in fact it is frequently asked during inspections. Just like the security flaw question should be asked in the same vein.
