This superficial dismissal doesn't even make sense. Google didn't control the disclosure timeline here. The people who found these vulnerabilities could have published on T+90, or, for that matter, T+1. Meanwhile, the norm that does exist (it's a soft norm) is that you respect the disclosure preferences of the person who reports the vulnerability to the extent you reasonably can.

I'm not sure I even understand the impulse behind writing a comment like this. Assume Google simply refuses to apply the P0 disclosure rule to themselves (this isn't the case, but just stipulate). Do you want them to stop funding Project Zero? Do you wish you knew less about high profile vulnerabilities?
