The prestige of being "the one that added feature X to OSS project Y". The things that would've been actually useful (bug diagnostics/troubleshooting, merging duplicate issues & PRs) do not offer the same level of prestige.
Maybe they use Claude or whatever and tell it to fix the problem and then just blindly submit it.
I could see people doing that without knowing enough to be able to compile and test the code, ignoring whether it’s good or not. So they just submit it and hope it gets merged to “fix” the problem, having no understanding of what’s involved or how much of a burden that is.
Now imagine a whole bunch of people doing that for a whole bunch of really complex bugs in 75 different games. It’s not like the PlayStation three was a simple system.
