Call Microsoft and I agree it isn't right that Vista has been excluded from the patch. Technical Support: Call 1-877-696-7786 microsoftstore.com Josh * * *

Found the download link for Vista (KB4012598) catalog.update.microsoft.com This is what led me to the download. Looking for updates to Windows? As of November 2016, Microsoft Windows Updates are now available for download from the Microsoft Update Catalog only. As always, all updates will still be available via WSUS, SCCM, and Windows Update – this change is only for manual downloads.

Software and new tech seem to operate at different standards than normal companies. Should a manufacturer sell a faulty product, it would be recalled and the purchaser reimbursed. Happens all the time in the auto industry for example. Some of the biggest and richest companies in the world, like Microsoft, have never had to worry about such trivial things. But taking a fuller view, if they were held accountable, it would stifle development, so we just can't win.
