Because Intel is that good in security and hardening, why not use Intel's newly minted own special secure Linux distribution?

This is almost like satire.

Not sure what you mean. This just looks to me like they're admitting they're awful at security and they're pleading/threatening the global community to help secure their ecosystem or else you're all going to be in a ton of trouble because the robots/cars are going to kill you and your workers and what'll you do then?

That post seems to make it pretty clear that they are trying to position themselves as the experts rather than the people asking for help. That is the part that is absurd.

I think even a Intel contractor was indirectly responsible for GRSecurity going behind a paywall.

(tl;dr intel contractor were shipping an os that was using grsec tradmark in marketing for a non-grsec approved kernel)
