User support and issue tracking are for different things -- the user
might not be able to tell one from the other, but there is a difference.
No-one is ever forced to file a report, but doing so will without doubt
make your bug easier to fix. That is just a fact of life, not a decision
developers are making.

As a developer (not related to Logitech) I thought I could tell you how
useful hear-say bug reports usually are: not useful at all. You need to
be able to efficiently ask for more information from the original
reporter. This is true with internal QA departments and "user bug
reports". If the developer does not have direct access to the problem,
it will be more difficult to fix, sometimes impossible.

As to your question: I've filed bug reports and left feedback on
typical consumer electronics and _never_ heard of those reports again.
Feel free to connect the dots with what I said above and the bug
reporting procedures the consumer electronics industry typically uses...
