Yep, it sadly does get a boost on higher difficulty levels, whoever the AI faction is. On Normal however, no faction usually gain boosts unless it's been scripted in by the player through modding the game files.

Very good point, they really are rendered pointless in R:TW on higher levels. It's a shame that they didn't do what they did in M:TW, have the AI more intelligent on harder levels rather than providing it with cash bonuses.
