I'm not clear about what the problem is. I was under the impression several large IT companies have bug bounty programs; is this not the case?

Apple does not have a bug bounty program when it comes to macOS.

Bug bounty programs run by Apple (for their other platforms) and Microsoft require you to agree to their draconian terms and conditions before you can even submit the bug.

So if this is a macOS bug, you forget about it and get on with your life. If it's something else for which a bounty would be payable - what are the terms and conditions, exclusivity? -then you go ahead and agree to that and hopefully get paid. Is there something else?
