I imagine those users to be less happy if that commit, which is far
from trivial, causes regressions elsewhere.

Being very close to a release, this is not a simple obvious decision
to make, it involves risks that need to be assessed.  By contrast, the
offending commit was with us for more than a year, with no complaints
from the users of what is now the Emacs 31 pretest.
