Carrier IQ has nothing to do with this exploit or with the issue at hand, which is not an issue of "crapware".
The Windows kernel is closed source, no other OEMs are compiling it.
Your argument is flawed.

They're not compiling it, they're writing drivers for it which are then linked in without a recompile.
