Half of your purported bugs were either one-offs, or not bugs at all, so
I'm not at all surprised that they ignored you.  I would have too.

So piss it off and buy another brand...

I've seen no evidence of that.  Besides, new controller code is useless if
the bugs are in the actual datapump.

That's hardly USR's fault then, is it?
