Yeah, I'm baffled that "CEO creates low-effort bug report" -> "open source contributor ignores the low quality of that report and nonetheless fixes the issue in his company's product" is what he apparently considered a healthy open source workflow prior.

That's not his previous workflow. The previous workflow was:

"CEO creates low-effort bug report" -> "CEO uses the low-effort bug report as a starting point to further refine the report and eventually fix the issue in his company's product"

The author's fixes based on the slop are good, because he knows the issue is slop and therefore can improve and fix the sloppiness.

Ignoring AI for a moment: I don't expect anyone to be able to write a design-doc from my own random notes about a problem. They are semi-formed, disconnected ideas that need a lot of refinement. I know that and I have plans around them and know much more context, but if some random person were to take them the outcome would be very bad, or at least require a lot more effort.

A random person has very little chance of being successful with that.

This issue is very similar, only with some AI tools intermediating the notes.
