While that is definitely a good theoretical argument but in practice it seem to be the case that most of the (non 0day) vulnerabilities that get exploited in the wild are the ones that have solid public exploits, and it does also seem to have effect on how fast it starts to be exploited.
Even if that was true, knowing that a number of large projects are using this lib I'm not sure if it is unreasonable to ask to at least make an attempt to reach out so they can asses their exposure.
