The article says that the Chinese team said it was on Big Sur, and that the Google team then discovered it was also on Catalina. It doesn't say that Apple didn't patch it on Catalina, or that they patched it "months later".
I would recommend against using vice.com as any kind of authoritative source. On anything.
- howinteresting 5y agoLooks like you're correct in this instance, thanks! But my general point is still true: Apple routinely skips patches on older versions. I'm aware of a fair bit of proprietary evidence for this.
