I suspect people will keep coming back because people are pretty used to internet services being flaky in general? The internet is not a shining pedestal of uptime.

Another possibility is people expect developers to fix such fatal flaws and thus wait some time until the app may have been updated in the background.

Or it could be possible that a normal user doesn't know how to resolve the error, so they ignore the app until a later time that it works.
