Since 2022, Google's Open Source Software Vulnerability Reward Program (OSS VRP) has been the path for outside researchers to get paid for reporting security flaws in the company's open source code, including projects like Flutter, Angular, Go, and Fuchsia.

This is the reason. Its stated in the article:
"Why did it come to this? Back in March, a post on the Bug Hunters blog from Google engineers said AI-generated reports were flooding the program. Some were serving up hallucinated information, while others were flagging legit coding errors that had little to no impact on the security posture of the targeted project."
