You'd be surprised. My sister uses Ubuntu (no idea how she got the idea), and she's in a totally different field.

People release open source projects for different reasons.
I don't think it should be required physically or ethically to have to pitch in to help, even if one was capable of.
Fixing other people's code in a disk partitioner or text editor is not what I'm passionate about nor what I want to spend time on. Then, I'd rather pay (as I do) for Sublime Text and start working on things that I care about already (on macOS—which I definitely pay for).
