The problem is bigger than just something that one engineer can fix, it's a genuine flaw in the training of Gemini, so in order to fix this the model has to be retrained, and new parameters put in place to prevent this kind of thing from happening. The moment a large youtuber gets private content leaked and lands YT in hot water with potential legal liability, and they start talking about what happened, this bug will get fixed.
I feel like this is their way of saying the problem is so complex to fix and relatively unknown to most people that they're not going to do anything about it until they have to. The biggest issue is that with the current transformer model they won't even know where to start looking in the Gemini code to fix it, they will literally have to go in and find/ rewrite some random code in the conversational source code which is probably more lines of code than a single engineer can comb though. It would probably take a small team a good amount of time to fix this because you could word it differently and get the same results
