But these are people who have overloaded plates as it is. It seems like people forget that this isn't the only case any of them are dealing with--they have plenty occupying their attention.

Plus, they always have someone mad at them about cases on their dockets. Having a significant percentage of the population mad at them over how they're handling cases sorta comes with the territory. They couldn't get anything done if they catered to even a small fraction of the complaints they get.

That's why I doubt that they gave much thought, if any, to the complaints about their handling of cases from assorted randos.
