Is that a serious statement? If so...

To fix a "little" problem like this requires:
  • Finding out people think there is a problem.
  • Proving there is actually a problem.
  • Finding where the problem is.
  • Coding the fix.
  • Making sure it doesn't break anything else.
  • Testing it.
  • Build and release the update.

And that doesn't take into account other problems that might exist. Any time you find a bug, you have to decide its importance against other bugs. And other work that is going on.

This all takes time. And costs money. Even a one-line change needs all this to be done. So, no commercial development team is going to rush out a one fix update unless it is for an important problem. And this isn't. It isn't stopping you from reading. It isn't deleting your books. It isn't sending all your data to Facebook.
