I think I'm bikeshedding; the whole "finder's fee" nonsense bugged me. The analogy between lost wallets and servers doesn't actually hold. One can have thieves and indifference in both worlds, but the natures of the exposed items and victims are different. It is more acceptable to people -- though not any more right -- to figure that a faceless multi-million dollar corp can absorb a tiny theft/hit, but it is harder to allow pain to a relatable fellow human being. (...unless, of course, one is affected by bystander effect or pressured by authority)
