It's definitely broken for one-off reports, but in the last beta period (for iOS/iPadOS 15), they actually made some changes. There are user visible "Resolution" and "Recent similar reports" fields. I actually submitted a few feedbacks and saw them change from "Recent similar reports: none" to "Recent similar reports: more than 10" and then "Resolution" actually did change to "fixed in an upcoming release of iOS". At least two feedbacks I submitted got responses to them, which actually got me an email asking for more information on one.
I don't think the system is perfect by any stretch. But it definitely has improved, and Apple does read them. The catch is that for esoteric issues -- especially ones that say "Recent similar reports: none", publicizing them and asking people to submit feedback if they can reproduce the issue will likely help prioritize it.
Esoteric crashes /are/ harder to diagnose. Minority issues are also lower on the totem pole for any org. I don't want to excuse Apple here -- it does suck, and it does need to keep improving, but last beta round was seriously an improvement over the past.
