That just means that somebody else has already started the process of understanding the bug, without finishing it. So what?

So you can know before starting to work on the ticket if it's a few minutes boring job, if it could take hours or days or if it's going to be something bigger.

I can understand the "I don't do estimates" mantra for bigger projects, but ballpark estimations for bugs - even if you can be wrong in the end - should not be labelled as 100% impossible all the times.
