I've mentioned before how disappointed I've been to watch hackerone move from a platform helping responsible disclosure to a platform helping companies hide vulnerabilities.
It used to be that even accepted bugs and paid bounties would be publically disclosed. It helped me learn a ton just from reading the (partially redacted) bug reports. Over time they became more and more redacted until they were left entirely pointless.
To mark a bug as N/A, declare it 'not fix' but then say also it can't be disclosed is precisely why responsible disclosure is a thing. Companies can't have their cake and eat it.
