My guess?

NSA is currently figuring out how to insert backdoors into all these things.

You see, the last backdoor they used all the time, well.... people figured it out.

So, they had to ban uh, checks notes, apparently all routers, basically.

So, now they need a new backdoor into literally everything.

    Not quite. The way the NSA and CIA usually work with Microsoft for exploits is pretty much just having them hold off on specific updates whenever needed.

    In this case it sounds like they have specific targets using windscribe and veracrypt that they need to remain unpatched.
