I totally emphatically understand, that for DMD authors, reporting their binary to a truckload indifferent AV vendors is the worst kind of kafka-esque, soul-draining, burnout-inducing, and quixotic chore imaginable. While at the same time they're certainly trying to manage a lot of hard chores already, where at least they have a bit more agency over the eventual result. There's only so much they can do with limited resources. They must pick their battles, and it's fully and only their choice to make, no one can force them otherwise.
Then, they're actually still patient enough to be polite and trying to suggest to the user what he/she can do to help the project (or actually himself/herself), in order to resolve the issue he/she has. And in response, the user is only trying to deflect any responsibility and work/effort, and aggressively trying to push it back on them, using some weird, illogical, and generally absurd arguments (that they also are politely trying to explain as being invalid). Instead of actually trying to do what they suggested, and what could actually help resolve the issue.
That's how it would look like from the authors/maintainers' side of the fence.
