Even with proper disclosure, patching can be harder than it seems at face value. Take shellshock (the bash RCE from 2014) for example, the first patch was released a week after discovery and publication happened after the patch was released. Yet there were still a flurry of further CVEs found and further emergency patches required as a result.
The problem is once a major vulnerability is discovered, you then have a the worldwide attention focused on that specific vulnerability looking for other ways to break it. So it’s not really a surprise that you find multiple CVEs for most major vulnerabilities.
