Quoting from a commenting on this thread:
"The only thing that can confuse people is the certificate security system... ..That is an issue of general technical illiteracy, that Mumble cannot address."
I think this sums it up. While not universal, OSS has a higher tendency to not-my-problem certain things. Often this is UX, other things too.
OTOH, OSS tends to delight at taking ownership of many other types of problems. Interoperability, multiple implementations, advanced features, user choice, etc. Stuff that proprietary software tends to be bad at.
The thing that drives facebook or Tinder to make their software addictive is the same thing that drives them to make it usable for the average person.
