I wonder how worried they would get if more people actually started selling exploits on the black market, instead of reporting and not getting a bug bounty. If you don’t offer a bug bounty program in the first place, my gut feeling is that they probably wouldn’t care in that case either. Either way, this is a super good reason to not do business with such a company.

I wonder if centralized "sell program vulnerabilities here" government shops can be set up

While intelligence agencies are an obvious benefitiary, this would also give leverage of government over capital

if the fire it lit under them, after their software leads to widespread hack - they will care.

that's the point - to put pressure on them to CARE.
