I think your interpretation is wrong. During this year we managed to close 1849 P1 issues in QTBUG [1]. At the same time 1966 P1 issues got reported [2]. So we indeed have a growing top-line of P1 tasks, and arguably also an issue with long-standing P1's. 

But for a new P1 that gets reported today, the chance that it gets closed in a timely manner is still rather high. 

Also, a lot of effort in 2020 was going into 6.0. I do expect we'll put some more focus on the bug backlog in 2021.
