As long as I notice a bug do I report. Things I don't notice but see on MR beta thread, I don't report. Simply just the ones I encounter. Not sure how much it helps, but I do.
I do the same---I will check if I have that bug and if I do I will report it. We all have different phones, different apps, different uses....I may never have a bug that you always had....so I don't feel I should report it.
100%, and I dont report things that people see as preferences. Like the recent calls change that got changed back in the most recent beta. I never had an issue with how it was before, so thats not something I think worth reporting for me. Just like I have experience keyboard lag. I don't expect everyone to report just because I have had issues.
I report my bugs. I also close my feedback when the bugs are fixed. Nice and tidy.
What I have stopped doing is giving helpful feedback suggestions about things that are unintuitive or could be done more simply. This is the first year since iOS 14 that I have not had the energy to tell Apple to improve App Library. It's been too many years of yelling into the aether and not feeling heard. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I would rather rant here than to Apple directly.

I gave up on filing feedback after way too many reports vanished into a black hole and were never even acknowledged, much less actually fixed.
Any issue I might report would also have to be reported by hundreds to thousands of other users for Apple to even notice it in the constant flood of other feedback reports and automated analytics reports — basically, unless an issue is found by a sufficiently annoyed Apple engineer, a sufficiently annoyed Apple executive, or is widespread enough to get picked up by non-tech media, it's unlikely to rise to a high enough priority level to get into the active bugfix queue except by sheer accident.
