So had I :(

A lot of these bugs seem to also go unfixed, I think with the intention that you pay for Unity Pro which gives you source code access to the engine and you can work around them / fix them yourself.

Pro doesn't give you source code access, just you need to at least have a Pro license to buy source code access (which is very expensive).

Ah, my misunderstanding. That's good to know. I imagine Unity pays more attention to Pros though? If you're free and you open tickets / post on the forums, they seem to just get totally ignored.

Each level gets better support, right up to getting roving Unity engineers in to help you out.

I don't think they are deliberately leaving bugs unfixed in order to up sell people though. More its just an enormous software project with an awful lot of people using it in lots of different ways. Basically an enormous surface area to try to tackle.
