Take a deep breath, take a walk, something. I worry a bit when conjecture over a comment on HackerNews leads to feelings of hopelessness. Please, connect with a person IRL and talk with them about something good! Read the Bill & Melinda Gates letter, go see Black Panther, something!
On-topic:
I do remember the story you're talking about; it happened to a tiny percentage of the people the story I mentioned did, but one of those people was my daughter, about six years ago. (Time flies!)
My daughter also had a cracked screen and generally did not treat her phone with the care an expensive piece of electronics merits, so I didn't think much of it, and she use the on-screen home button for a year or two. She liked it so much that even after she later upgraded, she kept using the on-screen home button!
I remember people blaming a software update, but mu daughter hadn't updated. I wondered at the time whether that was a coincidence, or multiple issues that people were conflating.
It's also worth noting that while you call it a "scandal" and say the community found out it was a software bug, iFixIt seemed to have a good handle on the exact flex cable that caused the problem: https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/56206/Home+button+sometimes+not+working https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/56206/Home+button+someti...
