The security and privacy org is much large than just GPZ, but the security and privacy org does not have a general remit to fix all vulns everywhere. GPZ is also not the only part of the org that finds bugs in open source software but is not generally obligated to fix them. Projects like ossfuzz are similar.
Google could staff a team that is responsible for remediating vulns in open source software that doesn't actually affect any of Google's products. Lord knows they've got enough money. I'd prefer it if they did that. But I don't really see the reasoning behind why they must do this or scrap all vuln research on open source software.
