Some people prefer to communicate with less words? This is an issue that crops up often with different cultures working on a single issue.

As for difficult, the context is very much set from it being a Github Issue on their own repo, meaning there is a certain assumption of skill.

You're cutting Microsoft a lot of slack here, and it feels like you're forgetting that out of this whole transaction MS end up with free labour and bug-fixes? They choose for the setting to be very public, and they choose to let their employee's directly reply to customers with quotes like[1]: ["I will take your terse response as accepting the summary.", "somewhat combatively", "peppering your comments with clauses like", "impugning the reader."]. All of which are corporate-passive-aggression and (in my mind) are vastly more antagonistic than Casey ever was?
