I was assuming web vulns found in Google´s Infrastructure, and not
vulnerabilities in general as I imagine Google wouldn´t condone selling
vulns on their systems to the highest bidder.

As far as crimes commited during the process of discovering the vuln
itself, Google expressly authorizes security testing in the program:
http://www.google.com/about/corporate/company/rewardprogram.html

But for vulns in general, I totally agree with you.

If you don't like it, let us know how to improve it. You also always
have the option of not researching vulnerabilities in these platforms;
going with the full-disclosure approach; or selling the flaws to a
willing third party.

Well, selling flaws to third parties might be considered a crime in some
places, so I would be cautious with that approach.

I suspect a large portion of the people who are selling flaws to third
parties
are not at all concerned about whether selling the flaw is a crime, as
often the
bigger question is how many crimes were committed in the discovery
process...
