Ranting is inappropriate for the mailing lists, regardless of why.

The only thing you can know is that they’re not addressed, not why; saying that they have been ignored is speculation.

You can always file new bugs against newer versions, perhaps phrasing them in a different way. For example, “Xcode’s ___ does not obey the system accessibility setting for ___” is an excellent way to phrase it. Don’t hesitate at all to file duplicates of issues that affect you, especially against a new version, and especially during a beta period.
A report on something like this doesn’t have to take long to file, either, since it can be just a sentence or two, it doesn’t have to be many paragraphs and steps and a sample project going into great detail.
Also, be sure to make each bug you file about a specific issue. For example, if it went to me, a bug with a title like “Xcode 5 user interface problems” might be sent back as “please file a bug per issue, we’ll re-title this one and use it for the first issue it contains.” The person receiving the bug could create copies for each issue, but then the originator doesn’t have the same level of visibility into what happens to them.
Based on their titles, at least some of the reports you list look like they could be marked duplicates of the Radars used to introduce Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast in the Accessibility preferences. (Of course, an app not paying attention to those settings is a bug in the app, whether it’s Finder or Xcode or a third party app.)
