The best justification anyone can come up with for not fixing the bug is an excuse that it probably isn't that important? Huh? Even if it only affects 1% of use

The best justification anyone can come up with for not fixing the bug is an excuse that it probably isn't that important? Huh? Even if it only affects 1% of users, why not fix it? It's only 2 characters, and there have apparently been pull requests for ready-made fixes already. Why not just fix it, make Reddit a tiny bit better, and not have people complaining about it every 6 months or whatever.
