> Telling everyone this project doesnt care about security

Google did nothing like this.

If people infer that a hypothetical project doesn't care about security because they didn't fix anything, then they're right. It's not google's fault they're factually bad at security. Making someone look bad is not always a bad action.

Drawing attention to that decision by publicly reporting a bug is not a demand for what the decision will be. I could imagine malicious attention-getting but a bug report isn't it.

Bullshit. That is exactly what google is doing. Demands aren’t necessarily malicious, but they’re certainly annoying for the person being demanded.
If merely publishing a bug they found, and doing nothing else, would qualify by your definition as "telling everyone this project doesn't care about security", then there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing that "telling".
