> I frequently work with the teams that are responsible
If this bug is rare and your personal insistence on prioritizing this fix makes any kind of difference, that's a bug in the organization and a misalignment of individual and business priorities. If a team can be randomized by an isolated instance without taking overall impact into consideration, that's a warning sign about the health of the business and the product.
Note again that I'm not a spokesperson, merely a developer, so this is my own personal opinion:
In college one of the most transformative assignments I was given was actually a term paper where I was required to study what were then considered the three major sociological models for society (as I recall, so forgive me as it's been quite some time): structural-functional, social-conflict, and symbolic-interaction. In studying each of those sociological models, the one that resonated the most with me was that of symbolic-interaction.
The core idea behind the symbolic-interaction model, as I recall, being that society is a result of the everyday interactions between people just like you and me. With that in mind, I continue to believe that there are often key individuals within any given group of people, whether that is a corporation, government, or otherwise, that can drive significant, positive change throughout that group and that can have a profound effect outside that group as well.
I'd like to encourage folks to stop and consider for a moment that there are more than 1.4 billion monthly active devices running Windows 10 or 11. Obviously not all of those devices run any specific version of Windows, but that should provide some useful perspective. As a result, I'm always looking at the data, checking for patterns, and trying to identify both positive and unexpected trends. Cases like this are another opportunity for growth and to help others, and I'm happy to do so when I can.
