I think it's just the sad state of the corporate structure at the moment. If a manager requested and got a budget to fix said bug to his superiors, it's his ass that's on the line if things don't work as planned. If same manager said "it's not our fault things don't work" nothing happens to him. Hopefully when the current generation of managers gets replaced they'll be replaced by those that actually understand FOSS and can incentivize fixing these issues. But as it stands everyone, including the shareholders of these big companies, suffer from poorly designed corporate incentives that let FOSS projects stay unmaintained.
