A DoS bug is not important for almost anyone. You probably aren't targeted, you probably sanitized correctly anyway, there's not a huge impact potential anyway.

But a hospital? A bank? A stock broker? Some part of the military's stack?

Context is important, and what is innocuous to you may kill someone or cost millions if exploited in the wild elsewhere.

It would be profoundly difficult for a machine or a convention to understand everyone's context and be able to frame it correctly, so it's left to the developers to review what the security issues are and act accordingly.

I do agree the system should be improved and there's a lot of spam, but your blasé attitude toward what is or is-not a security issue seems off the mark.
