You're absolutely right! 90 days does seem incredibly arbitrary, like it was chosen for political reasons. And this policy is definitely equal, but wildly inequitable.

Is it perhaps possible that equitable treatments of vulnerabilities and companies might not be particularly high on the list of priorities for GPZ? Some might even argue that past attempts at equitable treatment have backfired badly, with many cases of companies abusing the time this gets them to not fix vulnerabilities.

Again, you're completely correct. Though I would genuinely love to hear your ideas of what equitable policy would look like - it could easily be better!
