Actually, it does help to say you are not experiencing a given problem. Not only does this tell people what to expect if, say, they haven’t upgraded to some new version, but it lets you know that maybe the problem is not in the phone. For instance, when I first got my iPhone, Voiceover would always speak notifications, and then do it again a few minutes later. I wrote to a list about the problem, only to be told that it was not a bug at all, just a couple settings I should adjust. Or, what about problems that only affect certain models of devices? If people chime in as to whether or not they have the problem, it lets us find common denominators, which can help Apple to know where to look.
I can understand venting after a day of technology seeming to fail. However, when people started pointing to your specific, mostly non-reproduceable problems and saying that they are proof that Apple is horrible and all that, then I have a problem.
