You know what will help in those situations ? Testing.

It is expensive, i know. Why not skip it and just analyse the KPIs from the telemetry. /s

Testing is not really an economically viable option in all cases. Ecosystems are simply to diverse and products are so complex that covering every case is not really possible. There is likely no software you use today short of projects like sqlite which don't leverage user reported bugs or telemetry to improve the software.
