Open Source complaining assholes apart, which can fall high on the disrespect scale sometimes, users have all and every right of complaining about the things that are not working, always. Users are not in debt of software developers in my view. If you think otherwise, then that's the key of our disagreement.
I do think that "don't care about UX bugs" is a prevalent attitude among software developers. I may be mistaken, but let's not forget you even used it as an argument: "those bugs are not that important", which is what compelled me to reply.
I believe that death by a thousand cuts is worse than death by a single blow, each time these bugs occur make a little cut.
And of course some of them might be devilishly complex or E_NOREPRODUCE, but I believe they are pervasive mostly due to the industry being focused on having more features before stabilizing old ones, because, you know, those bugs aren't that important.
(Hint: Multiply 5 minutes wasted by an annoying bug by 12000000 users and you have a million hours down the drain, each time)
