Don't they?

Great, they can fix the bugs being filed by another part of their company

So would you rather Google have a secure ffmpeg while us plebian individual users continue to have an insecure ffmpeg?

It's frustrating to me how many people are siding with FFmpeg here considering how unprofessional and generally asshole-ish they are being.

I feel that this is mostly a kneejerk reaction to AI and Google in general, with people coming up with arguments to support their reaction after already forming an opinion.

It's a volunteer project, they have no requirement to be 'professional'. That's basically the root of the whole issue. A hobby project is not a product, and its developers are not vendors. Free software is not a supply chain.

But it's developers do offer paid consulting as ffmpeg maintainers, which Google does pay for.

The word "unprofessional" here is muddying the comment more than it helps.

Let's just saying they're being asshole-ish, which is a problem for volunteer projects just as much as non-volunteer ones.

The ffmpeg twitter sucks.

Because we've worked as open-source maintainers and experienced the same frustrating asshole-ish behavior from companies before.

They probably fixed in the internal version.
