Yes. 

I suspect if someone who didn't have that kind of support were to report
compiler bugs clearly, the bugs would get attention, although not
hotfixes, which are one of the things you get for the support fees.

However, few people know how to report compiler bugs effectively, and
I've seen internal examples within companies that are hilariously bad.
Handing over a 50KB .c file generated by a transpiler from another
language with details of "I think it goes wrong somewhere in here" is not
the way to get things fixed.
