It isn't NHTSA's fault if they do not respond to tire failures when people can't be bothered to file a complaint with the information needed.
Yes getting pictures takes a few minutes. You should already have the DOT serial recorded and on file. I have read a number of "complaints" where incorrect size, brand or type tire was reperoted to NHTSA.

Valve failure is not a tire fault. Overloading a tire is not the tire's fault. Low inflation is not the tire's fault. Hitting a pothole is not the tire's fault. Getting a cut or puncture is not the tire's fault. But when any of these occur and the tires fails then it must be the tire's fault.
