We are not developers, but volunteer triagers and there is no tantrum here.
You have not explained, why you think your time is more valuable than ours.
You have already spent more time commenting than you would have creating those
individual reports.

To rephrase you: you should feel fortunate that we have made the effort to
bother giving you consultation for no cost on how to avoid having your report
be forever ignored by developers.

There was a recent discussion shedding light on the effect this type of
attitude has on open source development:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12000746

This bit from one developer nails it:
"My general approach is to be nice to people who ask good questions, and who
try. When people ask terrible questions, and make it clear that they have no
interest in lifting a finger, but demand that you do all of the work... well...
they get told in no uncertain terms to shape up, or get banned.

You don't owe these people anything. If they had an ounce of human decency,
they would understand that they got the software for free, and that they don't
deserve anything. And that they need to put some effort into it on their end.

The main response I have with these people is If you're too lazy to help solve
the problem, then I'm too lazy to help, too."
