Apple is addressing it with software and firmware patches. Unfortunately, if it's a hardware issue with the T2, I don't believe they can entirely fix it in software / firmware.
Apple is a large corporation and their decisions are based off of profit and cost. This is demonstrated by their problems with the butterfly keyboard which started in 2016. Apple refused to acknowledge the problem until they were hit with a class action lawsuit. Even after the lawsuit, Apple continued using the butterfly keyboard with a minor change (membrane) and the keyboards are still failing in the 2018 models.
Apple is neither for the most part uncaring or incompetent. They are just a business who decided that continuing to sell computers with the T2, is better than acknowledging the problem, suffering lack of sales and reputation while they work on a fix, and a recall (i.e. it's better to keep quiet).

I don't think it's as widespread as it seems from reading the forum but I think it's a definite issue (i.e. more than 300).
On the other hand, I think that many people just see a computer restart in the morning and they don't even realize that they had a bridge OS failure
