I’ve read about this before and what I don’t understand about these corporations is: why get pissed off? If you keep failing to secure things after flaws have been pointed out why not offer the security researcher a job? Not that they’d necessarily want the job — but why not try to be productive rather than have a bitch-ass attitude about it?

I don't get it either. imagine instead of cybersec this was an everyday interaction.
