One of your bugs is an universe bug, so it's completely on community's shoulders, and the community that actually maintains 90% of the packages is Debian (which also has enough of tens of thousands of open bugs).

This is why if I want a bug fixed in Ubuntu, I report it to Debian where I'm guaranteed to have a real person maintaining the package.

There is currently ca. 1000 open bugs per one paid developer, so they need the community effort to collect bugs, mark as significant and combine duplicates.

In the interests of not repeating myself about the "community effort", see my previous comment and the resulting thread.

One more aspect is that some packages in main are more watched than others.

I was going to say, "What about firmware packages?" but then I realised they're in restricted, not main, which explains why no-one cares to actually fix this copyright infringement.
