It's a decision that every is entitled to make, you can't blame people for claiming free coins and some are quickly sellable on exchanges, I've seen people who started with no money and earned few dollars from free coins and start growing from there
The bounty rewards have no real market value due to the market circumstances, the deceived bounty hunters look for the people to blame for their bad situation. I don't doubt there are people as you mentioned on your post but not all bounty hunters have this opportunity to grow the balance with trading and continuing boutny hunting.
I certainly traded in various markets to be able to benefit. because in my opinion if we just wait for the rewards of the bounty campaign now is not the time anymore.. then we have to do other activities to be able to find additional income by trading. and not rely on the bounty campaign entirely because you will lose a lot of time and money.
