So if these bugs are significant, there are likely others

Final Cut team, for instance, suffering in silence if there are
significant problems. Nonetheless, it is better to have duplicate

people's submissions, duplication is inevitable.
Yep, this is true. But (and excuse the chauvinistic metaphor here,
but....) there's also the possibility of "cute girl syndrome"... you
know, the cute girl who doesn't get asked to the prom because
everybody assumes that someone else has already asked her?
I'd also venture a guess that Apple also uses the quantity of dupes as
a metric to help prioritize what to fix. I used to work as a
troubleshooter at fairly large software company, and we used two basic
measures - the defect severity and the number of dupes - to determine
which reported defects to fix first. So, just because there might
already be a bug report doesn't necessarily mean there's no value in
opening one.
