Should this be true only for vulns, or all bugs? If I as a third party find a bug that is causing Google to undercharge on ads by a fraction, should Google be obligated to pay me a mountain of cash?

Is there any evidence that OP feels that this payout was unfair?

No, but Google should understand that if they give a token payment, people will be less likely to help in future situations like this. And might be inclined to just instead tell ad buyers about the loophole quietly.
