The audience of a security contact point (be that Hackerone or security@') is a technical person

We add impact demonstrations to a few findings per pentest report because our audience is broader: the nontechnical people who decide to allocate the money need to understand why this is useful and that the devs/sysadmins need to get enough time to do things right (developers and sysadmins are often sufficiently skilled, but are under delivery pressure). A sufficiently technical team, when the bug is adequately explained, doesn't need a functional exploit to see it's real/impactful or not
