Blackbeard went after bounties because he wanted the notoriety and to become a shichibukai.
Nobody else seems to care about collecting bounties though.
Pirates don't seem to care. I don't know if lower-ranked marines care, but the admirals don't. It seems to be more of a way to label characters as dangerous.
If the WG put Sabo's bounty up for knowing about Imu or Ivankov's for invading Mariejos, it's hard to think who will look at it and be like "oh ok, NOW I'm gonna go after those guys for the bounty".
Is there some level of bounty up to where the value is actually there to be an economic incentive to have them captured, rather than just a label to show how strong or "evil" they are? 300M Luffy after Enies Lobby was still weak enough that someone could try to capture him for the money. But Shanks having a higher bounty than Kidd probs isn't there to be an economic incentive to catch Shanks.
