They're too cheap, too lazy, and in too much of a hurry to make sure their products/services are secure before they start selling them,

If the company doesn't have a QA team, if the company doesn't have negative unit tests, if the company hasn't trained their employees in secure coding practices, if the company doesn't have a system to avoid SQL injection exploits, etc

Then the company is at fault.

You should give a 90 day window so you don't become an enabler of crime.

The company that wrote the bug in the first place is the enabler of the crime. In 99% of these cases, if you look at their unit tests you'll only see positive tests. Fail at best practices.

Announcing the exploit publicly allows people who use the software to take proper protections (like putting behind a firewall).

Commodore was always a superior engineering company with substandard business executives. At times, extremely dumb executives.
