I think we _do_.
The amount of time you have to spend saying what happened tends to be much
smaller than the amount of time the bug submitter tends to spend tracking
down the reasoning.
Therefore, we should assume that the default submitter is interested in
seeing a summary of how the bug was fixed, not merely in the fact that it
was fixed.
I must mention the special case, when bugs are filed by developers. It also
takes very little time for a developer to figure out how the bug was closed
without a closing message. However, developers are by their engineer nature
always interested in how the bug was fixed.
