Claims that the WMF vulnerability was an intentional backdoor into Windows systems makes for an interesting conspiracy theory, but doesn't fit with the facts.

Gibson claimed it was done intentionally, not that it was vetted by MS management ... though he suggested that was the most likely explanation. He later admitted he shouldn't have called it a "back door".
This author seems more interested in slamming Gibson than in laying out how and why Gibson was wrong.
