It's fair and true.  As you yourself describe:

Exactly: once we asked for more effort than you were prepared to
invest you said no.  How is that not a refusal?  You were told several
times that you are the only one who can reproduce the problem, and you
still declined to help more.  So here we are today.

Then please make a point of saying this when you mention that you
stick to Emacs 26.3, lest people who aren't privy to the history of
this don't fall into the trap of thinking we break stuff and don't
bother fixing it.

It's actually the other way around.
