The OP doesn't need to file bug reports. The experience report is its own thing of value. I've had people write experience reports about software I've written many times. You know what doesn't happen though? I don't accuse them of bad faith. And I don't cry about them not filing issues as if that's some moral necessity.

The irony of you picking apart the OP's wording as not being exactly correct is just too much. There's the projection I was talking about. :-)

> Multiple times in the review, the OP mentions "we", as if he is part of a team. Who is "we"? Unknown.

On the off chance that you just aren't aware of the idiom, it's common to say "we" as in "me and you, the reader."

Search for "we" in one of my pieces of writing, for example: https://blog.burntsushi.net/csv/

There's nothing nefarious about it. See also: https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/5500/use-of-fir...
