Would be quite different if they patched it and broke important extensions, possibly facing serieous outcry and bad publicity.

I agree that would change things but I can't picture an open-source extension with millions of users pivoting to rely on something that's clearly a bug.

At that point it's a feature, not a bug.
Having millions of users on your side is great ammunition.
