While this is a great strategy for figuring out the cause of a bug, I’d argue that “root cause analysis” in engineering is typically a much more qualitative analysis, and more about high impact failures than mere bug reports.
A more accurate title may be “automatic data collection and analysis for bug reports”; I’m also confident that Microsoft has been doing this exact same thing for at least a few decades.

A natural next step would be checking GPU memory as well if they haven't already. Is it possible to measure overall system memory pressure in JS or is that sandboxed?
