Like I said, my impression is that often the people replying are not engineers. Here's one with that problem: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=674096...
It's more about comparing to Firefox where you usually get a quick response which at least conveys that the person on the other end understands what is being reported. I'm fine with the eventual outcome here. A comment acknowledging that it's a real bug (or not) would have been better, but being assigned to someone sort of acknowledges that, I guess.
Why is that?
So... somewhat self-fulfilling
A first good step would be if the billion dollar company would try to come up to the standard of the non profit.
edit: oh, and i lower my hat to you for coming here and taking the heat. appreciated, having a real person to vent at is so special in the case of google...
I would imagine that the chromium teams probably gets a lot of tickets. That means they need a lot of bodies to triage them. It's not like any Sr. Dev ist going to be jumping at that job.
