I'm very surprised that Apple did not find this fell under the "or similar user data."

It seems like the researcher put in significant effort, the demonstration was gold plated, or comparable exploits require far greater amounts of time and work to uncover.

The platform coverage seems broad enough to tick that box.

I would be very interested to read the internal report on how the $7k bounty figure was arrived at.
