The word “victim” is honestly pretty funny in this context. Nothing really happened to anyone.
I wouldn't classify getting random malware as "nothing happening".
Because it spies on them and nags. But Windows itself already does that. LG could've done the same thing sans the mcafee popups and nobody would care, in fact Dell is probably doing that.

So once an person is victimized in this way, it becomes a free-for-all where future transgressions cease to matter?
Yep. Not free-for-all, but silently installed crap collecting metrics is well within their expectations.
So... When people expect to be harmed because they've been harmed before, then it's perfectly OK when they get harmed again.
Neato.
