Look at the conditions that were the criteria for the list

You made some mentioned this, but the reason why IE and Office are not on this list is because they are well known to be threats and are already inside most companies, so there are already being protected. These other apps tend to slip below the radar.

This makes a lot of sense. It's far harder to compromise systems when admins are looking for the attack, even with an open vulnarability. When you don't know about it is when you get hit.

Attacks against Windows, IE and Office are well known. It's neccessary to kind in mind lesser known attack vectors.
