So you believer in the absolute freedom of security vulnerabilities disclosures and security researchers should just do so at will?

Do you know that the general public are usually the ultimate victims and impacted by those vulnerabilities the most?

Especially Intel/AMD are corporations worth tens of billions monopolies in their fields, and if their CPUs with zero days unpatched and sample code and exploitation techniques out in the wild, what else are you gonna use on your desktop computers?

We've seen similar happened for Microsoft after Shadow Brokers's disclosure.[1] It's gonna be worse for hardware products as it's virtually impossible to retroactively fix silicons chips.
