I think the most practical reason not to flag which bugs are security bugs is to avoid helping blackhat hackers by painting a giant neon sign and that should be more than enough.
I think all the other explanations are just double-think. Why? If "bugs are just bugs" is really a true sentiment, why is there a separate disclosure process for security bugs? What does it even mean to classify a bug as a security bug during reporting if it's no different than any other bug report? Why are fixes developed in secret & potential embargoes sometimes invoked? I guess some bugs are more equal than others?
