I have a friend who works at Rockstar. I have forwarded the blog post to him.

Short answer: it doesn't make enough money, it doesn't matter.

GTA V has made 6 billion in revenue, it's probably the most profitable video game in history by a large margin.

GTA V is profitable, fixing bugs is not.

Fixing bugs that reduce engagement is profitable. I am pretty confident this kind of bug has easily costed Rockstar in the order of 10-100 million dollars _per year_.
