Then don't file one. Nobody is asking you to make your computer into a
testbed, just provide reasonable feedback to questions asked regarding
the bug that you file.

However keep in mind that this is an *opensource* linux distribution &
project. So any additional feedback/help that you can provide regarding
your issue is certainly appreciated by the developers and other users.
If you've found another solution after filing the initial bug report,
and no longer wish to pursue it, then have the courtesy of saying so in
the report and move on. Otherwise, other folks attracted to the issue
may keep trying to help & waste their time in the process not realizing
that you could care less. Similar to people posting questions on this
list & never having the courtesy to reply and/or respond back that
they've resolved the issue (either from a list post or some other
resource).

You downloaded & installed the OS and applications for free. You use
them for free. Yet you complain that it takes too much
effort/time/whatever to file a bug and assist in troubleshooting the bug.

In the same hand you don't mind posting your issues here and asking
others for help, do you?
  When others try to help you and ask you to "try this, try that" do you
find that it also takes too much time out of your busy schedule to test
and/or respond back?

If you are not willing to participate in that fashion, then just follow
along, and/or use commercial support. You *do* know how to find
commercial support for Ubuntu don't you?
