Grandiose "expert" posturing, focusing exclusively on corporate bullshit hierarchy while being scarce on meaningful details. So they chose to hotload the microcode patch instead of rebooting, that's the only actual piece of information.
It's a hardware bug and it's been reported, that doesn't really seem like enough time to start holding people's ears to the fire.

It's interesting that Intel more or less hints at having been aware of this before Google reported it. Also: a lot of fear mongering about information disclosure but there is afaik no proof of concept for that (though eventually a way might be found to do that it isn't the case right now).
