Again, it looking yellow is a part of the theme. The names of the terminal colors are not supposed to correspond to exact colors all the time, otherwise there would be no such thing as a theme. They are just the names of the colors used for certain kinds of output in the default theme.

As for my attitude, luckily as a maintainer it’s my right to have whatever attitude I choose about the software I write, and people are free to use or not use the software as they see fit. It’s also my right to make my own decisions about when I feel like people are wasting my time unnecessarily, and particularly about when they’re being jerks about it.

Personally I find it very hard to maintain enthusiasm for the actual work of building the software when having to deal with entitlement in the issue tracker.

Again defaults matter. Certainly no one can stop you from feeling aggrieved or reacting hostilely. Personally I find it harder to maintain enthusiasm when dealing with attitudes like yours.
I mean, that’s fine I guess? You, as a theoretical person reporting an issue, are not the one who’s got to keep the project going, and it’s not my, the theoretical maintainer’s, job to keep you enthused.
I didn't say as someone reporting an issue.
