> Why is Juniper using Dual_EC DRBG anyways?

As a follow-on question: was NetScreen using Dual_EC_DRBG before Juniper bought them (and with it ScreenOS?) If so, it might be good to scrutinize the original NetScreen owners and where they are now (hint: They now run Fortinet and Palo Alto Networks. Are they at risk of interesting, compromised security choices, now, too?)

And you're right. Juniper could still have their own e, which renders the security pointless.
