Honestly that just shows bug report templates/rules are too hard for most users.

Folks want to offboard their issue somewhere with minimal effort. It's much easier to do that in free text in an app you're already in than to submit a form where you have to categorize your issue on a website you'd have to pull it.

You're right to say it's friction making people step outside the preferred path.

People are lazy.
