I'm not sure if this is a genuine question or a rhetorical one (sorry -
tone doesn't always come across well in email), but OpenWRT does have a
security process, with advisories, bug fixes, etc.:

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/security

I suspect the process may not be as good as Debian's, but they do fix
at least some serious bugs fairly quickly. E.g., if I'm reading the
following pages correctly, the Debian DSAs for the recent serious set of
dnsmasq vulnerabilities went out on Feb. 4, whereas OpenWRT issued its
Security Advisory on Jan. 19:

https://www.debian.org/security/2021/dsa-4844
https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2021/msg00026.html
