I don't think this is true at all. The developer community might get more attention than everybody else, but this is a good thing: making developers more efficient results in more software for everybody.
Besides, most such projects are written to fill a specific need of the author. They would have been written regardless; they are released because of the open-source culture prevalent in the development community. There are so many development tools just because developers are so happy to share.
Edit: I'm not sure this particular product is open-source. I'm just commenting on the prevalence of developer tools in general.
