Insanity, a person in their free time, out of the working hours discover a bug, doesn't summit it immediately, the google engineers proceed to call it 'an apple engineer' instead of saying the name of the person, this is politics 101.

Funny to see output of years of promoting politics inside a company.

Not insane at all. Just think for a second: ehy would someone withhold a 0day?

I understand a 14 years old kid new to security doing this. But this guy is a pro, he knows the rules of responsible disclosure.

Why help Google? Because Google routinely reports 0days to apple, making their platform more secure for everyone.

Does anyone know why Google focuses so much effort in finding vulnerabilities in their competitors rather than focusing all energy in securing their own products and services?

Is it because they can then publicize their discoveries and make themselves look good (while possibly making their competitors look bad)?
