My guess is that, like the crypto wars, disclosure fights are going to happen every generation.
There was a big discussion about this in the 90s. Vendors would sit on bugs forever, frequently simply to suppress knowledge of them rather than fixing them. Hackers rebelled; some simply published what we now call 0days, others would publish on a non-negotiable timeline. Eventually, "responsibly disclosure" became a norm.
Looks like companies have once more figured out how to game the process, so their counter-parties are going to renegotiate. And the cycle of life is complete.
