It's strange to me that Thunderbird is even on their chart. Surely only a few free software enthusiasts use that anymore? Most of the population doesn't even use a desktop email client and if they do its work-provided Outlook to connect to Exchange/Office365.

Zerodium only cares about shit their own customers want to target. They aren't trying to fund the entire world of software security.

Their customers in particular are select governments wanting exploits for their own use. You can sure as shit bet they already have specific targets in mind and what they use.

EDIT: For example, the forum software noted on Zerodium's list are popular for "blackhat" and "darkweb" forums from everything from card dump selling to malware. Many governments would love to get themselves a database dump with some user IPs. Conversely, this is why Discourse which is a major BB these days is missing as it's not popular in those circles.
