>I can only see harm being done from not privately reporting them

Because you need to take a look at the fuller picture. If every vuln was published immediately the entire industry would need to be designed differently. We wouldn't push features at a hundred miles per hour but instead have pipelines more optimized for security and correctness.

There is almost no downside currently for me to write insecure shit, someone else will debug it for me and I'll have months to fix it.
