I think the idea is that dedicated security firms and/or automated scanners will discover exploits in the cooldown period.

Yep, this is the thesis behind them. I wish people engaged more fully with this argument: it’s possible to believe that security vendors won’t do a good job of upholding their side of the bargain, but I’ve yet to see anybody argue that rather than making a faulty universalization argument against cooldowns.
