They all do that. I've been in Offensive Security for 10+ years with several spent at FAANGS, and not only do they all have large security teams doing internal testing, they hire multiple contractors like Trail-of-Bits to audit every important service continuously throughout the year.

Apple has way more than 10 full time researchers looking at iOS all day, trust me :). They also have a really generous bug bounty. There is always bugs though.

Yes

Hell no

Agree. Not long ago, Apple used to sue people reporting vulnerabilities to them. Imagine punishing people doing free work for you. Not a good look.
Getting punished is the default.

If you refer come across anything, keep your mouth shut.

Not only is it not generous (relatively speaking), but actually getting paid can be extremely annoying.

Used to be even worse.
