Tagging is tedious: you need to BCC the control address, you need to
type the line without making a mistake, etc.  It's so much easier to
just close the bug.

I'm not sure I understand what will tagging as "fixed" without closing
will gain us, can you explain?

As for closing, as long as people start arguing with us why did we
close without resolving the way they thought we should, I will leave
bugs open, because I don't have enough time for these arguments.
