Another complication is the security through obscurity position. Just because a risk was found, doesn't necessarily mean anyone was exploiting it. What happens when the risk is identified before proper remedies can be put in place? Is that creating more risk by telgraphing weaknesses that otherwise may have gone unnoticed?
Coming from the manufacture side, I am a big advocate of the manufacturer stepping up and taking the lead. The critical need is to build trust with business partners and customers. Cyber security is a complex issue that requires all parties to work together. If anyone doubts the positive intentions of the other, the system breaks down pretty quickly.

There should be a reward for the researchers time whether or not some take the initiative to provoke what seems to be safe or stumbling onto a curious mistake. Some of us cannot break habits and some of us cannot adopt new ones. Hopefully soon AI can look for anomalies in code and authentication standards and simply post the nature of how secure a location on a network performs. Think of the password strength bar, it changes colors the more complex your password, AI can do that and probably already does as it is obviously machines can farm us.
My general answer is, it depends on the mindset of the researcher to disclose what one has found and that could change on a day to day basis, emotion or caffeine level.
