It has been my experience that Wikia rarely give apologies, and when they do it is usually for that weren't directly their fault. This basically boils down to apologising for oversights, but not apologising for actions.

For instance, they recently apologised to me regarding Wikia Maps not having a way to undo deletions, but did not apologise for deleting an image which should not have been deleted.

I agree that the easiest and most sensible first step should have been removing the login from every page. (Assuming that the login form was a confirmed vulnerability, which many comments seem to indicate.)

Since "Putting the login form on every page" was an action they took, it is unlikely they will apologise for it, although following their usual patterns it is possible they might apologise for not previously having the javascript preference.

To me, it's just basic manners that if you do something that you later realise you should not have done, you should apologise for it, and not apologising communicates that you're not sorry for what you caused.

(That said, I'm taking you at your word that you have not seem them apologise regarding these issues, and I have not personally verified that there has been no apologies.)

Edit: After a brief review of the tech update posts over the last month, I've found 3 apologies from Kirkburn regarding bugs with the weekly changes, but nothing regarding the wider security issues.
