If you think of bounties are pure transference of reputation... itsit's meaningless.

One of the purposes of bounties is to get attention. Some users spend bounties to try to bring attention to a pet cause they feel is neglected. Others actually want to bring attention and reward a great answer.

There's no guaranteed way to get an official answer - a few people insist on them, but frankly, itsit's probably not possible all the time and a lot of authoritative answers come from users simply because SE's got a lot of quirks that are more community than platform based.

That said, I'm pretty sure folks read meta and stuff probably gets discussed at some point. I've had feature requests get fulfilled significant periods of time after asking, with no real feedback.
