Now it is to criticize something they do wrong is blamming them?
With that attitude you will never improve anything.
Get in your head that if a company does something for you do it for
publicity or for money, and if you do not move to change something you do
wrong will never change.
This is not a blame is a warning of the bad publicity for canonical that
will have not solving this problems, at least among the KDE community. And
many of them are techinical users with influences other low-level users.
It is a serious bug, which leaves the system almost useless and have not
upgraded since April a driver with this bug. They never been interested in
it.
How do you want to talk? What we sing praises of how well things are done?
Sorry not my style blindly follow anyone, especially when I see that things
are done well.
We not are requesting for a imposible thing, simply to solve a bug. A bug
in a driver that are part of Kubuntu, but also of Ubuntu, and it mean that
canonical (that is th company that makes ubuntu ¿or not?) are distributing
buggy software and does not care about it.

You say that kubuntu are more community, but kde is in the ubuntu oficial
repository. If you install kde and system freezes simply resizing a window
impression that you can take?
