I've notice that the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory page is very timely on release details of security fixed but the Thunderbird Release Notes and main download link are not.

When security patches are detailed here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/

Sometimes it is delayed DAYS before the updated binary is available for download on the main Thunderbird page https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/ or shown in the changelog at https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/

What is that? Isn't that kind of a big issue?

Your question should go to developers for a detailed response, not here. Yet, from my own development experience, it takes time to confirm a fix to the time that all documentation is updated and the module is ready for deployment. There is a quality assurance effort in that time gap. I am not clear on what your expectations are.

Got it. Thanks for the deets.

My expectations are that if they have a security advisory that states the new version fixes a vulnerability that I can find the updated binary. This is the case in nearly every open source project. I will take my question to them directly.
