There's more to the black market than just money: you often need to deal with unscrupulous individuals (possibly a couple of levels removed) and risk going to jail. The bounty incentivizes researchers to research and disclose, not disincentive people who were going to sell them anyways (who will pay whatever it costs to get these anyways).
