> It raises questions of motives

I don't think Project Zero ever analyzed something that isn't used at Google (for example with the Apple stuff: somebody at Google has to build the Google iOS apps). Wanting to know what's going on on the corporate network is the job of a corporation's IT security unit.

The publications serve to force vendors to fix their mess. Microsoft already complained that the 90 days limit by Project Zero is unfair (and got a 14 days-to-next-patchday extension). And there are other experiences from researchers adhering to "responsible disclosure" schemes where the vendor only became active once publication was a real threat.
