Then those users mess up dependencies, or simply forget to update the package for a few years. Then open source maintainers get spammed with angry users because of a poor user experience they can't control.

That is general problem with Open Source - people expect product and authors provide tools. Free as "paid by data collection and advertisement" really messed peoples mind. Walking around, thinking "I am a product, my data is valuable". Not for me. The whole story is unfortunate. But there is also Pulse Audio and systemd with toxic responses on real problems, hard not to become angry.
