Nothing new there, devs have been either outright copying or duplicating mod content for years/decades now after the mod feature became popular enough.
Easiest way to spot this? Compared actual Vanilla WoW to both current WoW and "Classic" versions and see what added features there are. Then go through the mod history of the game and find almost all the newer quality of life features at some point existing as a standalone, fan created mod.

Actually a good bounty for a bug fix. Somewhere in the ballpark of 1-2 months salary for a full timer.
So you should pay in proportion to your means? As mentioned above that is quite a good price for a bug-fix.
And how would you measure the exact revenue created? I don't know the details on this story but was the dev required to hand over the fix?
