tbf this is abusing the word anecdote a bit. Anecdotes are unreliable narratives and hearsay, not facts or data.

An anecdote is "I forgot to pray before bed last night and now I have a headache. See God is punishing me." and other people agreeing with this happening to them.

Saying, "here is a documented pixel bug that was released on day x but wasn't fixed until day y" is evidence and data.

Once its documented as a real bug then its no longer in the land of weird anecdotes.

How you categorize that is up to you. You can be dismissive of what that bug broke as an "unimportant feature" but its no longer an anecdote.
