If people don't know that a vulnerability exists (For example: the Intel Active Management Technology) it can be very easy for the company to just ignore it. (Especially if it is one that reflects badly on the company) However, if people know that a vulnerability exists, it puts the ball in the companies court to do something about it. However, that is just my personal opinion about the reason for Travis' tweets (which happen every time a large vulnerability is discovered), and I have no security background. I trust that people like Travis, who have done a lot of work to improve security, to know how to minimize the damage from the vulnerabilities.
