Apple fixes hundreds of vulnerabilities every year, and while they do drop the ball on one or two, those are exceptions, not typical. Reports to [email protected] are responded to by a human within a few hours, and issues are typically patched in the next point release or the next after.
I can see why you'd drop a 0-day if you were somehow ignored or they were stalling for years, but dropping it without even trying is just irresponsible. There's a lot of room for improvement in Apple's handling of vulnerabilities, especially with regards to response time and proactive work, but I don't see how deliberately waiting until 10.10.5 and then releasing a 0-day is helping anyone.
