Calibrating expectations will serve you well.

Yocto is an open source project, and not your commercial supplier. You
can take what there is without any fees whatsoever, put it into a
product, sell the product, and keep all of the income the product
generates. How maintainers and contributors actually make a living and
find time to fulfill their commitments is not your problem.

Here's the other side of the deal: nobody owes you a bugfix for a
problem you're having. Not only that, no one owes you an investigation
into your problem either. We're all volunteers; if your problem isn't
particularly interesting, relevant or common, there are always far
more important issues to us. Especially if you act entitled and
demanding.

If no one reacts to your issues, the correct thing to do is one of these:

- own the problem. Study the code, study the history of changes, ask
questions about those things if you have them. Then work your way
towards a fix and a test for it. This can take significant time, which
is not going towards adding value to your product.

- hire someone to do this for you. You can hire me, for example.
