Some OPs just forget that some of us want to know the outcome.
Some are just inconsiderate. They get what they want, and move on.
Some probably are embarrassed if the fix was easy.

Because after it's fixed, there's not a problem to complain about. Therefore, for some, no reason to post about it

It's still broken and they neither have the tools to fix it themselves nor the money to pay someone else to do it?

It is easy to find your recent posts. But the Forum could do a much better job of telling people how. Recent updates have hidden the recent posts function, for some bizarre reason.
