Yep; and all Apple fans ever say is "report feedback!!!" but what is the point when seemingly Apple never gets to their backlog of bugs/broken features? I mean, sure, some big stuff gets fixed, but there is a lot of stuff broken going on years they haven't even touched.

Those are probably anonymous employee accounts not fans. I don't know if anyone would be enough of a power user fan to tell someone to file a bug report.

I'm trying not fall into "No True Scotsman" but... It should be common knowledge at this point that Apple Feedback is a blackhole of despair. "Please attach a sample project" seems to be the go-to, even for things were that makes no sense. Same with attaching debug/diagnostic logs. I understand the value of all of those things but even people who have jumped through all the hoops get ghosted and/or their issue is never addressed.

Currently I would not waste my time on Feedback and it's sad because even if Apple reverses course it will take a lot to get the people who they should most want creating Feedbacks to create them.

Feedback is more or less a black hole, for the most part. It's rarely paid attention to by a human, and is treated like telemetry. If you want something fixed, it needs to get into the press or go viral.

You don’t even know whether it goes somewhere because you don’t even get a proper ack.

I’ve reported a few things, none of it got fixed or acknowledged. Providing video evidence too!
