Well, upstreams are not necessarily enabling many security features or

Yes, this is a very good point.

Many of Fedora's packages have upstreams that are not using the latest
compilers, libraries, security features etc.

Just because upstream hasn't been updated to work with compiler
hardening features doesn't mean we should disable those features. Just
because upstream's code is not portable to more than one compiler
doesn't mean we shouldn't send them bugs (or better still, patches).
