Now, they could give you an option to add yourself to the waitlist, instead of monitoring PN; I agree with that. But that’s not broken IT, rather a feature request that hasn’t been high enough priority to implement yet.
If you’re talking about instrument upgrade issues, I don’t think anybody is making excuses for UA. “Normal” doesn’t mean “OK.” It just means “other people are seeing these issues too.” What’s the point in getting angry about something you can’t control?
Additionally, not everyone wants an instant upgrade as it may result in family members and/or traveling partners being unintentionally split up.
