I will routinely change the title of a post that starts with BUG when it is shown not to be a bug at all. That's misinformation. I'd guess that perhaps half of such posts are not bugs at all, but misunderstandings, mistakes, etc. It does seem presumptuous for a user to declare something to be a bug without even understanding what has happened, especially for a newer user. But this happens all of the time.
So I have to agree with the OP that making a topic declare a bug should be done more carefully than it currently is done. However, there are bugs. Many posters will say something like, "why am I getting this error?", to which the response from us will be, "that's a bug."
If you get an error in the logs, there is a problem and we'd certainly like to know about it. Some of these pertain to custom drivers, but on balance most refer to actual problems we need to address. We've started posting the Known Issues list where we identify such things as we become aware of them. It would certainly be helpful that if you think you've encountered a bug, you check this list before posting about it.
Meanwhile, we'd rather hear about bugs than not.
