Of course it's pro-rotten cheese propaganda, it's pro all rotten food propaganda, because controlled rot is like the tastiest of all things. 
My point is clearly the risk of actual disease is very low, clearly at least bordering on negligible, probably even lower than foods we do commonly eat. Your exact same argument could be used against maybe most cheese. We have identified commonly eaten foods as a source of all sorts of gross disease.
Cocoa, kimchi, pickles, miso, all alcoholic drinks, kombucha, natto, yoghurt, the list of rotten foods that are the actual best is endless. And I will endure tiny risk for these things.
