I don't think it's fair to draw the conclusion that the Haskell community don't care sufficiently about beginners from this, since only selected few of the community has the ability (and time) to work on GHC and improve the state of error messages.

I was going to say the same thing. While it may be true that beginners are not sufficiently appreciated or that error quality is not sufficiently prioritized, these extrapolations do seem a little rude in the context of what is effectively a defect report to a volunteer project.
