No data on this but instinctively it seems, given alternatives, most people abandon some buggy software rather than patiently reporting problems and waiting for it to get better.

Yeah. User reporting has a very obvious and very strong survivorship bias. Plus the people who take the time to send in a report are a rather small niche, so you have pretty strong bias even if you exclude people who leave.
Always-on metrics are massively higher quality data. They don't collect the same kind of data in many cases, but they can reveal a lot of things that never get reported. They also don't suffer from the well-established pattern of people not accurately reporting their own behavior when asked / polled (stronger when asking about future behavior, but it applies in all cases).
