> Companies are responsible for their own security. You cannot try to hack them without their permission. Security researchers who do something like test the security of a car without the permission of the car manufacturer (like in this post) are committing a felony.

Not a single sentence here is correct.

I think you need to expand here. My understanding is that there is a lot of law you can fall foul of pen testing and sharing vulns on products of companies you don't work for.

It's phrased weirdly, but the op is describing an idealized status quo as would be seen from a corporate standpoint. It was meant to contradict itself and thus:

>We need to pick a lane.

I imagine op would likely agree it isn't actually that monotoned and this was done for rhetorical purposes.
