This is why the checking doors / neighborhood analogy isn't a good one.

Having one person with poor computer security negatively impacts everyone. Hacked sites turn into phishing landing pages, exploit kit hosting, stolen data dumps, and launching off points for attacks on everyone else. The vuln scanning ShadowServer is doing is meant to be a public good, which is why they share the info with ISPs and governments.

Security is too intertwined to stand by and say other people's vulnerabilities aren't your problem.
