Why has there been no official response?

They certainly have not weighed in on this lately. For now it is “the same as it was” but they are open to ideas after release. I don’t expect this one to change unless it is an optional game creation mode.

Fixing bugs is kind of a thing they do, esp if it was a negative bug.

This was addressed. We get ladder items and runewords on non-ladder and we also get the Uber Diablo and Pandamonium event in Single Player. That was announce days ago in the Patch Update Diablo II: Resurrected Ladder & Patch Update

Addressed in the Beta announcement. They told us it was removed and why. They addressed security issues that arose during Alpha. Play Diablo® II: Resurrected™ During the Early Access & Open Beta — Diablo II: Resurrected — Blizzard News

This was addressed by the Executive Producer Rod Fergusson on his Twitter.
