RE: Why did a post telling people to report bugs make 3,000 USD in upvotes and my actual post about a legitimate security issue that the developers directly thanked me get less than 100 USD?

You could make a post using both of them.
Nail met head on this one.
But it's even more specific than that, in terms of developers that understand not only what you're talking about but the implications of it. Much smaller pool of people that even care, and smaller still of those that will read and care.
I think this is an example of the craziness we're seeing with all the people rushing to cash in on Steemit and focusing on that first, instead of picking the most valuable content.
Note: didn't see you're original posts beforehand, but tossing you votes now.
Steemit is great for sharing content dynamically but not great for distributing important information. No stickies, no easily accessible hub people can go to get problems fixed. It's a bizarre mix of client security flaws, and blockchain based reflection with fluff pieces that would nauseate Ok Magazine editors.
As you have said, steemit lacks on the social media side. It little more than a MU Wordpress with a build in tipping crypto that has recently skyrocketed in fiat value. It needs to move onto facilitating its social media promise.
This nailed it...and your new post is exactly targeting that audience. As of this comment, well over $7k! Congratulations and thank you for your service!
