Did you see how the FFMPEG project patched a bug for a 1995 console? That's not a good use for the limited amount of volunteers on the project. It actively makes it less secure by taking away from more pertinent bugs.
This is significant when they represent one of the few entities on the planet likely able to find bugs at that scale due to their wealth.
So funding a swarm of bug reports, for software they benefit from, using a scale of resources not commonly available, while not contributing fixes and instead demanding timelines for disclosure, seems a lot more like they'd just like to drive people out of open source.
An exploit is different. It can affect anyone and is quite pertinent.
