This was not a case of stumbling across a bug. This was dedicated security research taking days if not weeks of high paid employees to find.
And after all that, they just drop an issue, instead of spending a little extra time on producing a patch.

If not pumping out patches allows them to get more security issues fixed, that’s fine!
Making open source code more secure and at the same time less prevalent seems like a net loss for society. And if those researchers could spare some time to write patches for open source projects, that might benefit society more than dropping disclosure deadlines on volunteers.
High quality bug reports like this are very good for open source projects.
