Do people using these oldish softwares update them, though?

Funding bug bounty programs kind of fail its objectives if they don't.

You're not wrong, but those are still separate issues. In the context of benefit for the government itself, you'd certainly hope so…

Regardless of whether they get updated, these are still a net benefit for new installs.

Oh indeed, I'm not trying to say they should not fund these programs, this is awesome and welcome. I'm just warning about a possible pitfall for them to keep an eye on :)
