Nowhere does TurboHaskal accuse people who work on open source projects of "faking passion". He said he should not be forced to "fake passion" by writing open source code just to have open source code, the implication being that if one were really passionate about software development one would be compelled to do so. It isn't a statement about people who actually want to work on open source projects outside their day jobs.

It's impossible to interpret this as anything but an attempt to indict open source projects as mere publicity stunts.
