Seems like a way for people to exploit developers from non-US countries for "prototypes" and hours of labor without paying much of anything at all. They offer these bounties in hopes that people apply for the exposure and learning, or from somewhere that the USD carries a lot of weight in the applicant's native currency. Likely not aimed at professional developers from a superpower country looking to make money from odd jobs.
I suppose that must be what's happening. I wonder about how good the output is from these jobs. I'm almost curious enough to post something there myself just to see what the other side is like.
