I thinks it's more about getting a gesture of gratification. Most hackers would probably get sued instead 😅

Probably not for informing people about vulnerabilities, especially if they don't publish it before talking to the government.

Yes but sadly that's not what happens.

For example there was a security researcher that found out, the official api of some political party site here in Germany was leaking user data. Instead of thanking them an mitigating the issue, the researcher got sued and it was just dropped because of the public outcry.
