IMO
Arcane may be an accurate description of the lack of knowledge of the "bug" decrier's . That is, people using graphics application for purposes not intended it to be used for and their expectation that a vector set not intended for CAD/CAM wanting it to be so.

I understand that reporting bugs is important, I do it all the time, but to make a public flogging of it is not helpful.

I can make the same assertions about Adobe Illustrator if I wanted. Why? Because it is not a vector set that can handle CAD/CAM applications. Graphics programmers know this; industrial engineers know this. I'm not going to, Adobe knows the limitations of their Vector sets.
