Usually I do not reply on accusations like this but lets have an exception.

First of all being upset is okay. But in case you want people to handle your
input it's recommended to put things into a question. That could have been "I
don't understand how I can use extensions to install Personas". My reply would
be to read the referenced bug where the idea is outlined: We should extend
LibreOffice by the ability to load Personas as extensions. You can find those
extensions today at https://extensions.libreoffice.org/ (admittedly not the
perfect page but we are working on alternatives); of course not yet with
Personas. Extensions are installed locally and do not require a special
solution that involves downloading something from Mozilla's Persona page and
storing it at the right place locally. It could even be integrated at the
dialog which would be more or less what you ask for.

My input comes from the user perspective, always striving for simplicity. There
are for sure a good number of users that share your wish to customize the UI.
But the more options and special solutions we implement the less easy to use
becomes the application. That's why not all requests are accepted.

As an open source project you are part of the game. Feel free to object, to
share, and to make noise. I do not close reopened tickets and if you find
someone who implements your ideas it's your right - and our goal. At the same
time you should also be able to use any application you like with your
documents. That's the freedom of open source. And you can also run Microsoft
products. They do really great IMHO. But try to ask for a feature there...
