Especially considering that Apple will never change their ways until they're publicly shamed, the long term outcome of shaming them is worth more than $100k if they actually change the policies to take security researchers and the bug bounty seriously

I would not consider Apple particularly concerned about shame in regard to bounty program delays in communication and publication, no matter how much people try.

I agree, but the shame of getting 0-day exploits published on the web by someone who doesn't work at Apple might shame them enough to change.
