I know the pain - but its no use reducing it to a dichotomy (All or Nothing).

The strong reactions are due to pedants who block the source base doorway and pick at everything going by. It can sink a project. So folks push back, say things like "Only comment if its a real bug!" and so on.

There's lots of middle ground in a company source process. For instance, point out real bugs if present. But for anything else, comment and approve, respecting the contributing Engineer to do what they can in the time available.
