Why would you intentionally leave in potential vulnerabilities, if you hypothetically have the option to release bug free code and boast about it.

You never have the option of releasing bug-free code. So if they released code with bugs, called it bug-free, and boasted about it, someone would come along, prove them wrong, and embarrass them.
They wouldn't boast about it directly, simply having a bug bounty where no bugs were found/reported would do the boasting for them.
The publicity wouldn't be as effective. However, I can't see them doing this.
