I always wonder how often these guys actually communicate with Microsoft or the other companies. It seems most of these bugs and /or flaws just get released to the public to become ways for hackers and scammers to screw people over.

I highly doubt Microsoft, with proof, would prefer to see that. Instead I bet they would want to fix it before some nasty person messes up a bunch of peoples systems.

Sounds like someone who has a grudge against microsoft. Also, seems like a few things have to happen for these exploits to work, but it's hard to tell from the explanations.

Yep, that's right. See https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/bounty for their bug bounty program.
