If you dumped every program that you use as soon as you find a vulnerability
in it, you'd be switching and swapping from program to program, and quickly
run out of software to use.
What's more important is not the short-term vulnerabilities, but the
long-term outcomes. Is the developer learning from their previous errors?
Are they quick to fix the problem, or do they spend time denying that it's a
problem?
As you say, though, there are plenty of other reasons to drop Norton.
