I'm not real sure why anyone is surprised about the Roundup-resistant weeds.
Plant genes which are incorporated into bacterial plasmids are taken up by other plants. It's one of the means by which plants evolve. This isn't news; people have known about it for many decades.
Moreover, as soon as they genetically modified crops to resist glyphosate, biologists said: "You want Roundup-resistant weeds? Because this is how you get Roundup-resistant weeds."
About the only thing they got wrong is that it didn't take as long as predicted.
