Did you read the bug report? This is not your garden variety THIS IS BROKEN YOU SUCK FIX THIS bug. It is respectful, it has a minimal reproducer, and it is communicated clearly. There’s no reason to stall it using the sysdiagnose requirement.
And yes, this is not the first time I’ve seen Apple requiring sysdiagnose for an excellently written report. Even John Siracusa would get these sysdiagnose requests; it’s a stalling tactic being applied indiscriminately.
If Apple cannot distinguish between an angry nontechnical user that SHOUTS IN UPPERCASE and a developer that communicates professionally with an equal, that’s Apple’s problem.
