The vulnerability in question is a Use After Free. Google used AI to find this bug, it would've taken them 3 seconds to fix it.

Burning cash to generate spam bug reports to burden volunteer projects when you have the extra cash to burn to just fix the damn issue leaves a very sour taste in my mouth.

Yes - more than a sour taste. This is hideous behavior. It is the polar opposite of everything intelligent engineers have understood regarding free-and-open software for decades.
