The open source community works in mysterious ways. This bug reminds me about the audio via HDMI bug for old radeon video cards. A simple flag in kernel configuration could have fixed it, yet the bug has been present in kernels from something like 4.1 to 6.0. It only recently has been fixed, after years of having to patch your kernel for a very simple bug.
When it comes to open-source software, usually it's absolutely critical bugs that get patched or necessary features that get worked on, since it's really just volunteer work.
Pay every contributor a salary to make the program "feel" nice instead of actually bloody work (hi every ms app), then we'll talk.
