There is also a "launched in terminal" factor, at least to me, especially when talking about desktop app that do not launch via an app store.
When i'm running FF, discord or when i used Slack, i launch the App in a terminal that i let in the background (because of habit: I only have to know one shortcut, ctr-Alt-T, type 2-3 letters, tab, and voila, the stuff is launched, its like macOs Spotlight).
That mean that each time the app crash or have an issue, i have the basic log output under my eyes. I just have to copy paste the interesting stuff into the bug report window with basic context clues. And if the bug is persistant, 90% of the time i can find the complete logs easily (tbf it happened once, so i'm lying about the 90% :P).
When i'm on Window playing Anno (or using discord), or on MacOs jamming, i don't think i ever submitted a real bug report, because i just don't have the logs easily accessible, and when the bug is persistant and prevent me from doing X, since i don't have a clue where i can find the /var/log equivalent, i just boot linux and do something else.
