* Development takes place in platforms such as GitLab, sourcehut and Github with a certain procedure (issue reports, commits, linking to the issues and marking them solved). Reports in the chat are not designated to be a part of that process (until an advanced artificial intelligence some day can evaluate them and automatically ask the user for more details).
* Talking about an issue and workarounds carries the discussion further away from the actual development and leads to discussions in forums and chatrooms.
* Shared and accepted workarounds don't find their way back into the code and may be accepted as "tolerable evil".
* Bug reports in chats are getting scrolled out, repeated and as a result repetitive for everyone involved and leads to future users with the same or similar issues not getting pointed to the correct places anymore.
* It is expected that people mentioning issues will also report them properly. Conversations about bugs without reporting them makes users and developers think it is reported already and as a result the issue will never be reported (and therefore not fixed).
* Unlike many commercial and/or proprietary projects, developers are part of the open community and there is therefore no need of having to solve issues via side channels.
