Responsible disclosure is immediate public disclosure with no embargoes. Embargoes are how we as users are absorbing the costs of poor security practices. If the culture was a no-warning publish culture, I would expect feature iteration and API breaks to slow down to more conservative levels as bikeshedding that stuff dwindles.

Punish fast software development iteration with public embarrassment and lost users who got hosed by the vulnerability. If Apple or whoever start dicking around and not paying bounties, release it... or better yet: sell it on the darknet; you have got to be paid for your good work, and NSA/NSO are going to need more 0-day vulnerabilities with WWIII underway!
