The quickness aside, the actual advantage to Free and Open Source is that if the problem is sufficiently bothersome, you have the right to go out there and either fix it yourself or hire someone capable of fixing it. The speed is probably a result of that, someone else investing time or money into the problem. In all other respects, it's best not to think of these patches as a free service.
