Android, notoriously, does this. When (not if) you hit an Android bug while developing an app, more than likely you'll find it closed as stale. Luckily they don't usually block comments, so you'll get to see confirmation from within the last few weeks that you're not crazy and this bug is still present, and maybe some up-to-date workarounds if you're lucky.
Imagine if the Linux kernel or even Chromium had stale bots closing reported vulnerabilities everywhere. It's like they are burying bugs waiting to be exploited by drive-by security researchers.
