Gotta be honest, i'm at a loss for words. And please don't take this personally but i kinda don't believe you. For this to be true, that means that since this started happening it has been the only response I've gotten for over a decade of in game time and countless conversations. It has never been so consistently the same in any other previous FM. But more importantly, if this is how it's supposed to be that means this nonsensical conversation would have been designed this way and approved by someone, that's baffling... It's perfectly reasonable to offer a better contract to a player, it's not doubling down it's exploring options. No human responds to that offer this way, it doesn't even address the offer, just "i'm not happy, you suck, bye".
That said, thanks for the help, i do appreciate it, i really do, and i know none of this is on you. I'm just somehow more upset now than i was before when i thought it was an error. Errors can be fixed, poor design, especially in FM games, rarely get fixed.
