The analogy makes no sense considering there's no way for people to create bugs (unless they're within Facebook, hah) to farm bounties for.

That seems to be the implication, but that seems pretty unlikely because of the risk. If the bounty were, say, 100k, is anyone going to risk a 200k salary over letting a friend of theirs get that bounty? And if you try pulling that off more than once, that's just begging to be caught.
