They will be patched. There is also no indication that they 'be been known and exploited till recently. This was allegedly deliberately non patched to be exploited. Getting a system without bugs and security issues is impossible, you can at least avoid intentional compromise.

Those are potential vulnerabilities that can be patched. This is an indication that MS intends for bitlocker which you really need to be secure to bother using windows on a laptop to never be secure by design.

Those are ‘vulnerabilities’ being exploited, and software will always have those, and when found, in Linux, they are patched, rather quickly in some cases. Microsoft develops Windows with the intention of making it vulnerable, so it is effectively commercial malware. Those are 2 entirely different things.

There were always some known exploits for Linux, some required you to know what hardware the target had.

No OS is free of exploits, and exploit counts are not a useful metric. So if, for example, *BSD has a lower exploit count than a common Linux distro, part of the reason is that hardly anyone actually uses BSD, so why bother attacking it? Just keep your OS patched.
