On: Shopify has paid over $300k in security exploit bounties

Ah no I didn't really assume that, it was part of my question, as to whether it was a deliberate strategy to jump straight to bug bounty with an expectation of a potentially large number of reported issues or an unexpected event, where the number of reported bugs and their severity, was more than you'd expected.

So (and I'm guessing from your comment you work for Shopify) I guess I can take from that, that it was the latter.
