If they have solved hundreds of open problems in math, why are they publishing results for the ones other mathematicians happen to be working on at the same time? Why not the others?

Well I'm sure if they find a millennium prize problem that no mathematician has worked on recently they will get right on publishing that.

You think other mathematicians are currently working on very little subset of relatively low-hanging fruit problems?
