This is a great point and I did not really think of this in the above statement.
It may work kind of how employment works, where Google can afford to pay more than a company that cannot afford a 10k bounty.
Google paying a 10k bounty is the equivalent of the bottom 10% of earners in the US paying a 6th(napkin math) of a soon to be discontinued penny.
Regardless, you are correct that the calculation is not obvious, unlike how I presented it. Preferably, things like multiple million character titles are handled correctly and no bounty is paid at all. I expect a smaller company to have an easier time here as well, lessening the financial burden.

Why would you expect that? In a smaller company the ratio of developers to HTTP endpoints tends to be substantially lower (fewer devs per feature) than in a large company, so I'd expect the opposite.
