Should developers pay attention when someone says,"Hey! This is broken!"? Of course.
Given my experience of Fedora bugs being ignored until the EOL bot closes them, it suggests that they don't even do that the vast majority of the time.
Should they pay attention when someone says, "This sucks!" Well, that's up to them. They have little to lose or gain either way.
And now you touch upon another important issue. This is more of a distro maintenance issue. It is also probably why Ubuntu maintainers pay more attention to such things - because their users are their _customers_. Without those, there's no revenue.
With Fedora the problem is one giant leap removed because the customers get a distribution after an extra 6-12 months of polishing and stabilizing, but still suffering all the questionable decisions made for users (where it's easy to take the "my way or highway" view) rather than customers.
