Your comment "Why not stop all development in lyx" made it pretty clear
that you haven't thought this through. Besides the fact I pointed out
that the majority of your bug report was inaccurate anyway.

Maybe we do not have unlimited time to fix bugs. Maybe bugs that are
only caused by rare crashes, and that have simple workarounds, do not
need fixing until somebody comes along to fix it.
A patch would be welcome.
