I don't think that's true. The only people using flashrom at scale is Google, and they're quite certainly testing every flashrom version with every firmware version with every hardware version before deploying anything. In the community the only people _really_ using flashrom are the ones with SPI clips and screws already removed, if we're being completely honest. Normal people don't use flashrom in production in any appreciable number.
Because I've seen it burning out people (including myself) when one tries to clean up behind others, I argue against fixing bugs that other people introduced.
But flashrom isn't your baby, it's not your responsibility. Advice yes, being condescending no.
