Time is a commodity. The extra time spent reviewing or maintaining code that is difficult to read would be better spent writing the code well the first time. In open source development, a maintainer’s time is often extremely limited. If you can’t make your code easily readable for that maintainer, then your contribution is worthless. You have created an asset with a transaction fee that prices you out of the market.
