As part of a security team tasked with triaging endless CVSS scores that all make the assumption you are directly piping unauthenticated malicious data to the code in question, using whatever the worst way of doing it is, I approve of not giving misleading "worst case" CVSS scores. They are almost never worst case, are frequently trivial, and suck up a huge amount of resource.
Glad to hear developers are also pushing back against the madness. I do think just patching known bugs quickly is the best way to go. Alternative might be some kind of AI assisted triage process.
EDIT: CVSS evaluates vulnerabilities in the context of the entire system. It makes no sense to apply it to software components; you just don't know what the solution actually looks like from down there. So it's just an inappropriate method to use in the first place.
