Windows Error Reporting is a FREE service specifically designed for software

"Using the WER service is like having thousands of testers reporting bugs on 
your company's applications. You can monitor error trends and download debug 
information to help your developers determine the precise causes for 
application errors. WER categorizes and prioritizes your data for you, and 
includes a response feature to provide solutions to your end-users." --

I guess if the software vendor doesn't take advantage of WER then you would 
be correct.
