I do not see why they would not.

First, it is hard to be sure you are facing a bug, reported or not, or another glitch involving something else (hardware, firmware, etc.). Not to mention that if it becomes clear that you are facing a bug, the community can advice and help you, to actually report the bug if it is not known, or to know that you are facing a reported one.

Second, when facing a reported bug, there are not always a solution being proposed by your distribution or, on the other side, too many "not-so-serious"/alleged solutions which could, in the worst case scenario, break your system. You can see the latter even in simple answers to simple questions on this website.

Finally, as far as I understand and I am concerned, this community is here to help users and promotes educational answers, which is, coincidentally, usually what happens where there are (serious) bugs reported to CVE website for example.

Long story short, asking such questions seems totally aligned with U&L StackExchange policy.
