 You're absolutely correct! So, do you have any valid reasons in mind?

 Actually, it's the project maintainers who decide which bugs are invalid.
 If you think the decisions are wrong, all you can do is to give arguments
 for some other decision and hope that they are effective.

 You have provided zero arguments for not marking this bug as invalid. As
 long as the project maintainers think that the bug is invalid, they will
 not fix it, even if you say "please". Even patches won't be accepted.
