So to be clear, if Google doesn't include patches, you would rather they don't make bugs they find in software public so other people can fix them?

That is, you'd rather a world where Google either does know about a vulnerability and refuses to tell anyone, or just doesn't look for them at all, over a world where google looks for them and lets people know they exist, but doesn't submit their own fix for it.

Why do you want that world? Why do you want corporations to reduce the already meager amounts of work and resources they put into open source software even further?
