If they fix the defect - yes, of course. If not - of course it is
their developers fault. Why do you ask, is not the answer obvious
("most obvious" if the problem happens on ALL windows systems)?
The situation with free software is *slightly* more delicate. But
"only slightly"; remember what fox explained to the little prince...

These are not misconceptions. Software does not modularize; at least
not in the sense of dilution of responsibility. If you use a library,
its bugs BUG YOU.
