I think you are making a wrong analogy here. A "threat model" in security is like a "user operation" for the feature.

So in the non-security bug world, the exchange would look like:

Bug report: the program is missing blue circle in the top right corner. Please add is ASAP.

Developer response: what would possibly be the use of this feature? Please tell me of I will close the bug.
