Information security is just a super wide field. To pick a couple famous examples: what Google Project Zero does, and what the "Swift on Security" person does, have almost nothing to do with each other.

They both matter, though. Basic blocking and tackling at the IT level is important, especially to large old institutions. Apple is obviously an apex technology company, but they're also a 45 year old public corporation... I'm not surprised they've got some vulnerabilities lurking in their subdomains.

Patrolling DNS and 3rd party corporate applications is not usually what people think is sexy security work, though. Problems avoided are harder to sell than problems discovered or bad guys defeated.
