It'd still cause large delays and CPU/IO activity on a program crash,
for little benefit. It's more than just hiding the button, you also
need to change the logic to write pathological crash files without a
core dump which just say "I crashed, but nevermind offering the user
to report it".

It also needs logic to not display the notification if a service
crashed that gets restarted automatically, such as cron scripts, D-BUS
activated services, or programs registered in gnome-session.

It's highly nontrivial to get right, I'm afraid.
