Then maybe Apple leaked this code intentionally to harvest free security reviews?

Please, it doesn’t help anything to publish unfounded conspiracy theories. Apple already publishes open source projects and has a bug bounty in which they pay for security vulnerabilities in some areas of iOS. It’s ludicrous to advance the theory that they hatched a plan to leak this important project to Reddit instead of through one of their official channels.
Risky strategy, it depends on who does the review. (It should be a motivator for white-hats to dig into this - black-hats surely will).
