Not to mention all the other people who find 0-days. Reputation matters a lot.

Why would they regret it? According to the person who found them, they put those vulnerabilities there for a reason.

No problem. The CIA will give it's high level officers millions of dollars in gold bars simply for the asking. I'm sure purchasing exploits doesn't even require a purchase order.
But the story is supposedly about him posting the zero-day exploits, not selling them. It’s in the title.
He also got banned from Gitlab, which isn’t related to Microsoft at all.
