It is. There are bugs in all software because of the human factor. Most
automatic bug reports are generated by errors on the users side. That is a
signal to noise problem. Also, one would want to prioritize fixing bugs
that are critical or bugs that people actually care about. If it is too
easy to report a bug, the important ones will wait forever in queue.
