People will have fun spending their free time on such projects. But it’s virtually impossible to turn it into “an actual thriving business model” that people can make a living on.

This $1900 bug bounty is quite an outlier, you generally won’t find one per month. An additional challenge is that it’s hard to predict how much work something will take, or whether there are any showstoppers. Also, if you don’t live in the same country as the client, it will be more difficult to get legal assurance that you’ll receive your money (or for the client that they won’t lose their money).
Why not? In much of the world, working on one of those a month would provide a comfortable living.
