It’s counter to the stated mission when it becomes entirely 1 sided and not beneficial. Wikileaks was meant to put an end to corruption, etc by revealing leaks across the world that benefit its local people. The biggest leak to do so lately, the Panama papers, wasn’t even by Wikileaks. What value are they providing?

By publishing this they increase the vendors incentive to fix the security bugs.
