Trust me, I have tried. I filed bugs and exchanged emails. When that
didn't help because my peers didn't have time to reply, I escalated to
managers and participated in meetings, just to get some attention to
these problems. A lot of work for very little gain, and I don't think
any app developers deserves to be blamed for not investing a similar
effort when running into issues.
