How much did you personally contribute to the success of Python, or any of the dozens of FREE software tools you probably use daily (and perhaps hundreds or thousands, once you factor in transient dependencies), to justify such criticism for their work? Some of their “bad” designs were made decades ago, before it was even clear where the industry was going. Take Unicode: lots of bets were made on that, and arguably Windows got it way wrong. Sure their APIs are still “compatible” but what is that worth, when strings are an inconsistent mess that to this day require developer hacks? And that’s an OS people pay for, written by competent engineers as well. If you don’t like your free software, please feel free not to use it anymore.
