I find the response weird because the commenter had an unwillingness to do free work for a company yet publishes a package that fixes their mistake.

Writing a bug report is work. Writing the shim is work.

The bug report doesn't fix the problem right away. The shim fixes the problem right away.

Reporting the bug will cause a fix for everybody eventually. Adding the shim will fix it for me.

If we want to be nice to Apple - and get rid of the shim eventually - sure, we write a bug report. But if we can fix it before reporting, that gets priority.
