I can understand you're pretty darn pissed off that they executed
untrusted remote code on your computer, which, I think, explains why
you're "lashing out" so strongly. And I also think that it was truly
poorly designed. But I find your quest for bad faith on their part a bit
far fetched... Never attribute to malice that which is adequately
explained by stupidity.[1][2]
By now, you should probably cool down a bit. I'd say you've made your
point.

warranted, IMHO.
